Hi,
I'm just starting to use create_resources and hash merging which I have
working but I'm not sure how I can avoid duplicating some of the hash
values further up in the hierarchy.
For example:
- I have set :merge_behavior: deeper and installed the deep_merge gem
- I'm using the eyaml backend
# hiera.yaml (partial)
:hierarchy:
- "node/%{::fqdn}"
- "%{::environment}"
- "%{::location}"
- "%{::flavour}"
- common
# common.eyaml
---
windows_webconfig:
website1:
name: MyWebSiteExample
32_bit: false
pipeline_mode: Integrated
runtime_version: v4.0
root_web_folder: 'd:\webroot'
bindings:
-
port: 80
host_header: dan.local.com
ip_address: *
protocol: http
website2:
name: MyWebSiteExample2
32_bit: false
pipeline_mode: Integrated
runtime_version: v4.0
root_web_folder: 'd:\webroot'
bindings:
-
port: 80
host_header: dan.somewhere.com
ip_address: *
protocol: http
Now what I'd like to do is only update the bindings for particular
environments and not have to duplicate the whole hash, something like this:
# uat.eyaml
---
windows_webconfig:
website1:
bindings:
-
port: 80
host_header: dan.uat.com
ip_address: *
protocol: http
website2:
bindings:
-
port: 80
host_header: dan.uat.com
ip_address: *
protocol: http
The above (uat.eyaml) doesn't work unless I replicate the whole hash so I
was wondering if this is by design of the merging and if there is another
way I can achieve my aim of not duplicating the site definitions. I
experimented with separating the "bindings" out into a separate hash and
passing this into create_resources but it's kind of messy and doesn't work
very well.
Thanks in advance.
Dan
