Feature Friday #24: Augments - host_specific.json
You probably know about the def.json Augments file. However, are you familiar with host_specific.json? The def.json Augments file is read, if it’s adjacent to the policy entry. As such, this file is generally distributed as part of the policy set. Its settings apply to all hosts that receive and run the policy. The host_specific.json Augments file, is on the other hand loaded from the $(sys.workdir)/data/ directory. And it is expected to be independent from the policy.
