That looks great, thanks!
However, I just realized that my server roles are somewhat related to the
server names. For example, I could call my webservers something like www1,
www2, www3. If all those 3 servers have the same config, is there a way to
create a file that would apply to all of them? Something like
/hiera/hosts/www?.yaml ?
If not, could I use a hard or soft link?
Thanks,
