- raffraffraff 3y agoI wonder if it's usage in puppet is different enough to be a factor... But the introduction of Hiera to Puppet was a godsend (to me) and since then I've liked it (or at least put up with it). As long as it's only used as a way to hold data, and not the code (like Kubernetes) then I'm ok with it. If I have to use a DSL like Puppet or Terraform, I much prefer to use Hiera to perform context-aware data lookups so I can write environment-agnostic infra code (with zero hardcoded values) that iterates over data. I'm sure Hiera could have been implemented in another markup, but I wouldn't like to force my other choice on anyone. YAML'll do.
