newfunction(:load_variables, :type => :statement, :doc => <<-EOS
This function will allow for loading variables from an external YAML
file and expose them for further use inside the Puppet manifest file ...
For example:
Given following content of the data.yaml file:
---
host1.example.com:
foo: bar
baz: quux
question: 42
host2.example.com:
abc: def
this: that
darth: vader
Then calling load_variables in Puppet manifest file as follows:
load_variables("/etc/puppet/data.yaml", $fqdn)
Will result in addition of variables $foo, $baz and $question
for matching host name as per the variable $fqdn ...
Another example which uses per-host file:
Given following content of the file data-host1.example.com.yaml:
---
foo: bar
Then when we call load_variables like this:
load_variables("/etc/puppet/data-${fqdn}.yaml")
This will result in a variable $foo being added and ready for use.
