Right way to use hiera.yaml

[Albert Shih]

Hi everyone

I would like to add some "category" inside the hiera.yaml meanning

:hierarchy:
- "%{::clientcert}"
- "%{::operatingsystem}_%{::operatingsystemmajrelease}"
- "%{::operatingsystem}"
- MY_CATEGORY
- common

I check I can do that by puting

node 'server' {
$category="mything"
include ::module1
include ::module2
}

and

hieradata/mything.yaml

It's working (puppet 3.8.x), but is it the right way to do it ? Especially
for puppet 4 (when I get time to upgrade, I would like to have the minimum
thing to change).

For example is it possible to put "category" inside the first yaml in that case
::clientcert.yaml ?


Regards.
