[salt-users] Dynamic pillar data

Hello,

Im looking for a few suggestions as to the best approach for
assigning pillar data to minions dynamically.

I would like to make a dynamic list of service roles available
to salt, and then use this to control which pillar data is available
to each minion.

Initially my thoughts were to distribute the role list via pillar, but
discovered it wasnąt possible to specify and evaluation order, as it is
with states. From reading around it also appears that new pillar data
isnąt available until the full pillar evaluation is complete, which
precludes this idea as it can result in jinja attempting to evaluate None
types.

I donąt mind writing modules if necessary, but I could do with some
advice on the best approach to take.

Thanks

Chris
