Hi Garrett et all.
Thanks for your thoughts and examples. I forgot to mention and I have
in my top level site.pp only
hiera_include('classes')
and the rest it's in the hiera.yaml mentioned above and so far so good.
I was just wondering if it's one way to go and it seems to be right.
I love Puppet and Hiera....
Thanks guys again
