  ensure => present,
}

Hiera

The rhsm class also provides a helper using create_resources() to configure any subscriptions or repos in hiera

---
rhsm::subscriptions:
  8e8e7f7a77554a776277ac6dca654: {}
  8e8e7f7a77554a776277e63d13ca4: {}

rhsm::repos:
  rhel-7-server-optional-rpms: {}

Puppet will automatically configure these subscriptions when the rhsm class is declared.

class { '::rhsm': }

The module also provides a way to store pool IDs with corresponding readable names and refer to those in your manifests

---
rhsm::pool_names:
  rhel_extras:  8e8e7f7a77554a776277ac6dca654
  oracle_stuff: 8e8e7f7a77554a776277e63d13ca4

You can then declare these subscriptions from hiera....

---
rhsm::named_subscriptions:
  rhel_extras: {}
  oracle_stuff: {}

Or use the rhsm::named_subscription defined resource type directly

class { '::rhsm': }

rhsm::named_subscription { 'oracle_stuff':
  ensure => present,
}
