Yes, I think it's a good way to go, Alfredo.
I would normally have a hierarchy like the following.
- secrets (e-yaml-gpg)
- nodes
- environment
- roles
- common
Gets by in most setups. You'll still need a site.pp file but in can just have:
hiera_include('classes') (pretty sure that's the call, not at a my laptop).
You can also do something to handle default nodes (ones that don't match the
hiera data yet) by having one default node specified in your site.pp Up to you.
