Puppet and Hiera Hashes

Hiera data is great for separating code and data.
Within hiera one can put different types of variables:
- text
- arrays
- hashes

Working with text and arrays is easy for most Puppet users.

Hashes still seem to have some kind of magic.
This post tries to show you an idea on how to work with hashes in hiera.

For a couple of weeks there is hiera integration in rspec-puppet.
