    • HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL): A configuration language developed by HashiCorp for use in defining infrastructure as code. It is used in tools such as Terraform, Packer, and Nomad.
    • Ansible Playbook: A configuration language used in the Ansible automation platform for defining the tasks that should be executed on a set of managed nodes.
    • SaltStack State Files: A configuration language used in the SaltStack infrastructure automation platform for defining the desired state of managed nodes.
    • Puppet DSL: A configuration language used in the Puppet infrastructure automation platform for defining the desired state of managed nodes.
    • Chef Cookbooks: A configuration language used in the Chef infrastructure automation platform for defining the desired state of managed nodes.
    • CloudFormation Templates: A configuration language used in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud computing platform for defining infrastructure as code.

    • Q: What are some configuration domain-specific languages?
    • A: A configuration domain-specific language (DSL) is a specialized programming language that is designed specifically for use in configuring a particular domain or system. Some examples of configuration DSLs include:
      • HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL): A configuration language developed by HashiCorp for use in defining infrastructure as code. It is used in tools such as Terraform, Packer, and Nomad.
      • Ansible Playbook: A configuration language used in the Ansible automation platform for defining the tasks that should be executed on a set of managed nodes.
      • SaltStack State Files: A configuration language used in the SaltStack infrastructure automation platform for defining the desired state of managed nodes.
      • Puppet DSL: A configuration language used in the Puppet infrastructure automation platform for defining the desired state of managed nodes.
      • Chef Cookbooks: A configuration language used in the Chef infrastructure automation platform for defining the desired state of managed nodes.
      • CloudFormation Templates: A configuration language used in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud computing platform for defining infrastructure as code.
    • These are just a few examples of configuration DSLs that are used in the field of infrastructure automation and configuration management. There are many other DSLs that are specific to different domains and systems.
