you could add a hiera call to your main site.pp* to define a top-scope
variable which then is also usable in the hiera hiearchy.
$role = hiera('role', 'default')
node "default" {
include "::role::${::role}"
# or hiera_include*
hiera_include()
}
hiera.yaml example:
:backends:
- yaml
:yaml:
:datadir: "/etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/%{environment}/hieradata"
:hierarchy:
- "nodes/%{::trusted.certname}"
- "virtual/%{::role}"
- "osfamily/%{::osfamily}"
- common
there are more pretty solutions like
https://github.com/ripienaar/puppet-classifier on Puppet4 and with the new
lookup() functions with supports "knockout".
