Overview

This module allowd you to share data with other nodes instead iof only exporting resources.

Example

Node sending data

share_data { $fqdn:
  data  => [ $hostname, $ipaddress ],
  label => 'foobar',
}

Node using data

$data = share_data::retrieve('foobar')

$data.each |$item| {
  host { $item[0]:
    ensure => present,
    ip     => $item[1],
  }
}

file { '/tmp/mywhitelist.txt':
  ensure  => file,
  content => inline_template('<% @data.each do |val| %><%= val[0] %>:<%= val[1] %><% end %>'),
}

This will create host entries for each node and a file with content like:
