As I said in that other thread -- my only prejudice against Hiera is that
it *feels* heavyweight for what I'm trying to accomplish. If, however, you
guys can help me understand all the options a little bit better it is very
much possible that I would come back from the discussion with a feeling
that Hiera is the best tool for the job regardless of my initial assessment.
Once again -- your help is greatly appreciated!
Now, to a practical matter -- in this particular case (unlike the
other thread :-))
I genuinely don't see how I can utilize Hiera. Given that the classes create
the rich state based on facter values/etc (e.g.:
if ($::this == 'that') {
$var1 = 'something'
} else {
....
}
) I am not sure how can I map that into hiera.
I'd welcome suggestions of re-architecting the class hierarchy, but I need
a bit more practical advice.
Thanks,
Roman.
