Hi, i have some complex project, using alot of modules (both self-written and public). How i should handle it if i plan to deploy 2 env with this manifests? This two envs is completely similar except hostnames/ips, installing similar software on similar OSes.

You need to explain a bit better what you're asking, it's like five different things spread out across a few lines.

  1. Describe your current environment, clearly
  2. Describe what you want to achiever, clearly
  3. Why do you feel like node classification with the node type is an issue?
  4. Why do you feel you could not use parameterised classes?
  5. What do you mean, exactly, with classes inside classes?

It would help to have quite a few more, concise, code examples to illustrate each point you're having issues with instead of one hug manifest that people need to figure out for themselves.

Describe your current environment, clearly

Nothing special, foreman as dashboard with master, bunch of debian / ubuntu agents, signed and working.

Describe what you want to achiever, clearly

I want to deploy several sets of servers (let's call it "stack").
Each stack contains 5-10 VMs with different software.
ATM i have a bunch of classes managing it (let's call it "beta") and it works.
Hovewer, in different scenarios, i want to replace some variables, for example: 

class { 'product::apache':  
  hostname => 'srv1.product.com'  
}

Should install "apache" role but replace hostname variable somewhere inside apache2.conf from template.
