Foreman and Heira

Hello,

is it possible to provision and manage systems through Foreman but use
Heira for data storage, in particular the Heira-pgp module?

Regards Jim

There is no reason why you couldn't. It basically boils down to variable
resolution in the manifest.

I think foreman is more native though since the data are variables and not
puppet function calls to outside data sources such as hiera.

Remember hiera is doing what foreman has been doing since day one.

Absolutely. What Foreman provides to Puppet comes in the form of the
ENC, which is classes and parameters (global and class-specific ones).
But your puppet manifests can be written however you want, and can
include other data sources. I'd be careful to avoid data fragmentation
though - it's easy to get into all sorts of split brain situations.
