A System Configuration Language is a domain specific language for system configuration tasks.
- Example(s):
- 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.
