YAML

YAML stands for YAML Ain't Markup Language. It is a very popular data serialization format for storing configuration data or exchanging data between people and computers. It is more human-readable and concise than XML or JSON. It has now become a key technology for creating complex configurations in various modern technologies like automation, testing, containerization, cloud (AWS, Azure, or GCP) deployment, DevOps, etc.

In this course, we will go through a comprehensive overview of the YAML data serialization language and YAML syntax. You will also cover the basic concepts behind the YAML language and understand the main features and capabilities of the YAML processors.

This course is for Software Engineers, Full Stack Web Developers, DevOps Engineers, Software Architects, Managers, and Hobbyists; wondering what YAML files are?
