Hi,
I don't know if there's another (or better) way, but I use a custom fact
for the *environment*. Then you can tell hiera to use this new fact in the
hierarchy tree:
As an example:
node:
/etc/facter/facts.d/local.yaml
---
env: "prod"
puppet server:
/etc/puppet/hiera.yaml
---
:backends:
- yaml
- eyaml
:hierarchy:
- "%{environment}/hieradb/%{::env}/cert/%{::clientcert}"
*Notice that %{environment} refers to puppet environemnt
<https://docs.puppet.com/puppet/4.10/environments.html>. (In my case those
are the git branches that I create).*
HTH,
Arnau
