Pull Request (PR) description
Use the
os.family
fact for RedHat based systems since they will all have same defaults. This ensures CentOS 8 replacements like Alma Linux and Rocky Linux will work without having to add additional duplicate Hiera files. I ran into this issue with modules where I had Scientific Linux tests enabled, which is another RedHat clone.
