Ok i did some reading and watched a youtube clip on it also.
Heira can be set in the params manifest which is what ll do - quite
dangerous that ill be using this approach at a company i work for :-)
Next i have established my hierarachy as such :
hierarchy: - %{_domain}/%{_environment}/%{_cluster}/%{_class}
%{_domain}/%{_environment}/%{_cluster}
%{_domain}/%{_environment}
%{_domain}
: yaml:
:datadir: /etc/puppet/hierdatadb
So the filesystem looks like this:
/etc/puppet/hierdatadb/ri3k.com/preprod/uk1/web.yaml
/etc/puppet/hierdatadb/ri3k.com/preprod/uk1.yaml
/etc/puppet/hierdatadb/ri3k.com/preprod.yaml
because im using a nodeless approach ill have to create a factor
plugin that will read the following values
/etc/system_facts
role:apache
_domain:ri3k.com
_cluster:dc1
_environment:systest
_class:web
ill have to figure out better fact names but i hope im making sence
here. The factor pluging and files will be setup at deployment time -
and puppet can then be run manually which will use the values to set
the host and define its role
Can anyone suggest a better way of doing this ?
