Answers -True
Given the following code and a node running the environment name "dev" and a
hostname of webserver01.mylabserver.com what will the URL value be?:
$confdir/hiera.yaml file
--
:backends:
- yaml
:yaml:
:datadir: /etc/puppet/hieradata
:hierarchy:
- "%{certname}"
- common
Given the following Hiera data
#common.yaml
url: www.mydomain.com
#dev.yaml
url: dev.mydomain.com
#production.yaml
url: mydomain.com
#webserver01.mylabserver.com.yaml
url: webserver.mydomain.com
class show_url {
$url = hiera('url')
} - Answers -webserver.mydomain.com
Even though we have the node running in the development environment, notice in our
hierarchy all we have is certname and common. Therefore, we automatically will use the
certname lookup since it is the highest in the hierarchy. The returned value is just
webserver.mydomain.com because we are using just the hiera() function.
