Using Ruby to auto-document Puppet Hiera definitions
At Red Hat we make very extensive use of Puppet to manage systems, and Hiera to make things as data-driven as possible. With thousands of systems, and hundreds-to-thousands of Hiera keys, keeping track of what affects which *could* be a monumental manual task -- but we let Hiera's own structure automatically build and maintain its own documentation with some help from Ruby scripts. In this session I show how we do it.
