Puppet users - Apr 2014 - CloudFormation/puppet/hiera integration..

Hello all, thanx in advance for listening to my sniffles as I am failing 
at solving this problem.

  I have CloudFormation template that builds out some servers.  I have 
parameterized a few values like. DatabseName DataBaseUser DataBaseLocation 
and some others.  The problem I seem to be faced with is getting these 
values to puppet to perform the correct configuration steps.  I had a 
pretty good idea about how I could accomplish this, and then someone 
introduced .yaml files as part of hiera..  While I am not that impressed 
with hiera, it seems to introduce a-lot of static environment files to 
manage.  This is not a road our team wants to travel down.  If I am wrong 
about this I am certainly open to enlightenment, but from what I have read 
and witnessed, it's static.

 So here I am, I have this CF template that asks for parameters that I need 
puppet to use for configuration.  Does anyone have any suggestions as I 
read on through all this documentation?


 Thanks,

J
