Data like this should probably go into hiera. Then write modules to
use the data via parameterized classes or hiera() lookups. For
example we use the "datadir" directive in hiera to split out hiera
lookups to become environments aware. This would simplify your data
structure to where you are just specifying the data for each
environment to use instead of having to code your manifests to
understand the data structure in a environmentally aware state.
Example in your prod environment hiera yaml:
software::soft1::version: 0.0.6
Example in your test environment hiera yaml:
software::soft1::version: 0.0.7
Then in your class:
class software::soft1($version) {
package { 'soft1':
ensure => $version
}
Hiera would give your puppet clients the correct answer based on environment...
However if you just want to use your data structure you referenced
above you can place it into a module/class or even use import. However
importing in a file like site.pp is not really recommended for various
reasons.
