We are implementing the profiles/roles pattern with hiera and using hiera
to assign roles i.e. hiera_include('classes'). Current hierarchy:
:hierarchy:
- "%{clientcert}"
- "%{environment}"
- global
We have several roles which require their own configuration data. e.g.
Firewall role, VPN role (each include several profiles). For example, using
the logrotate module we need to add different defines for the Firewall role
and the VPN role.
The most obvious solution is to create a new hierarchy level e.g.
"%{role}" but then we need to assign machines to a role outside of hiera.
I'm guessing the best way to do this is with a custom fact during the
initial provisioning but I'm not sure.
What would be the best solution for looking up role specific data using the
roles/profiles pattern with hiera?
Thank you for your time!
