Hi Johnson, Do you have any information on why PostgreSQL is taboo? It might help to justify supporting additional back-end databases.
To solve your exported resources problem, you can use this as an example https://github.com/simp/pupmod-simp-ssh/blob/master/lib/puppet/parser/functions/ssh_global_known_hosts.rb . Now, be aware that this will *not* synchronize between multiple servers but, if you have a single master, it will work just fine. Alternatively, if you have a shared filesystem it will also work. We're working toward revamping these types of items to use a shared synchronization system but it's not high priority at this time since most places can use PuppetDB. A better bet might be to take this snippet and turn it into something that writes to a DB that you control and then have a Hiera backend that feeds your your data as collected from that backend on a regular basis. In Puppet functions, you have the entire catalog at your disposal and can do with the data what you will.
