What is YAML File We Use in Cloud Automation

Advertisement

What is that YAML File which we use in most of the Cloud Automation Tools like in OpenStack Heat Templates? YAML is a data serialization format. As we can read it, it is human readable. We talked a huge about Cloud Automation via various articles – Relationship of Cloud Automation and Abstraction, Automation in the Cloud, not exactly we want to distract the readers from the current title, but just some references which a relatively new reader will find to be useful.

 

What is YAML File We Use in Cloud Automation

 

The basic idea is that, any data can be represented by a combination of lists, tables (hash) data and scalar via YAML. YAML describes these forms of data (YAML representations), and a syntax to present the data as a stream of characters (the YAML flow).

A computer application passes the YAML flow by loading the operation. The syntax of YAML stream is relatively simple and effective, less verbose as XML, less compact than the CSV and was established so that it is more readable by humans as possible, while being able to be matched easily with common types of data, in high-level languages. It borrows some notations from these languages.

Libraries for YAML exist for ActionScript, C++, D, Go, Haskell, Java, JavaScript, Lua, .NET Framework, Objective-C, Perl, PHP, Symfony, PECL, Python, Ruby, Scala, XML and so on.

Features and Examples of YAML File We Use in Cloud Automation

 

YAML offers both an indented and an “in-line” style for denoting associative arrays and lists. A major part of its accessibility comes from eschewing the use of enclosures such as quotation marks, brackets, braces, and open/close-tags, which can be hard for the human eye to balance in nested hierarchies. An example can be given here :
