but doesn't seem to get much traction there]
I have some data (hundreds of rows, should grow to some thousands in a
worst case scenario), managed from external sources, whose authoritative
source of truth consists of MySQL tables: I want to populate some files on
some nodes with that data, the nodes cannot talk directly to MySQL, I can
already do that with some scriptery and rsync or something, but I'd like to
use Puppet-3 to do that.
Possible usage scenarios are things like Postfix transport maps,
Spamassassin rules / custom settings per recipient, DJBDNS data files,
Apache/nginx virtual hosts, and so on. Please do note this kind of data is
managed by external sources outside of Puppet's control.
What is the recommended approach to manage them through Puppet? I can
imagine dumping data from MySQL to YAML files on the master and try
something with Hiera, I can also export data from MySQL to pre-formatted
text files in the filebucket and distribute them.
But I also think / hope there is a better way for this use case.
