Hello, I am not sure if this is possible at all, but let me introduce with challenge I am experiencing.
I have this configuration:
cloud::provision:
'strname':
key1: str1
key2: str2
sg_key:
-
protocol: 'tcp'
port: '1111'
cidr: '172.31.0.0/16'
-
protocol: 'tcp'
port: '2222'
cidr: '172.31.0.0/16'
-
protocol: 'tcp'
port: '3333'
cidr: '172.31.0.0/16'
So, I have a lot of these rules (array of hashes) for every security group for every EC2 instance on AWS. I want to simplify whole process and make a lookup like this:
*common.yaml*
lookupkey:
-
protocol: 'tcp'
port: '1111'
cidr: '172.31.0.0/16'
-
protocol: 'tcp'
port: '2222'
cidr: '172.31.0.0/16'
-
protocol: 'tcp'
port: '3333'
cidr: '172.31.0.0/16'
and have this:
cloud::provision:
'strname':
key1: str1
key2: str2
sg_key: "%{hiera('lookupkey')}"
Doing a lookup from CLI (first example), I am getting this response:
{"strname"=>
{"key1"=>"str1",
"key2"=>"str2",
"sg_key"=>
[{"protocol"=>"tcp", "port"=>"1111", "cidr"=>"172.31.0.0/16"},
{"protocol"=>"tcp", "port"=>"2222", "cidr"=>"172.31.0.0/16"},
{"protocol"=>"tcp", "port"=>"3333", "cidr"=>"172.31.0.0/16"}]}}
If I try to do a lookup in second example (with hiera lookup), I am getting this:
{"strname"=>
{"key1"=>"str1",
"key2"=>"str2",
"sg_key"=>
"[{\"protocol\"=>\"tcp\", \"port\"=>\"1111\", \"cidr\"=>\"172.31.0.0/16\"}, {\"protocol\"=>\"tcp\", \"port\"=>\"2222\", \"cidr\"=>\"172.31.0.0/16\"}, {\"protocol\"=>\"tcp\", \"port\"=>\"3333\", \"cidr\"=>\"'172.31.0.0/16\"}]"}}
Is it possible to get non-escaped output? Is this possible at all? It's very uncomfortable to have over 300 instances and have to change SG rules one by one instead on the one place. Thanks.
