HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL)

HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL) is a domain-specific language used for defining and managing infrastructure in a clear and concise way. Primarily associated with tools like Terraform, HCL allows users to describe the desired state of their computing resources, such as servers and networks, in a readable format. It combines the ease of writing simple configuration files with the ability to express complex relationships among resources. HCL helps teams automate infrastructure deployment, making it easier to manage, scale, and maintain cloud environments efficiently.
