I agree with rubiquity, without getting into a philosophical debate about programming paradigms, we have started an open source project InfraQL (https://infraql.io/) which is a framework for all cloud operations (query and provisioning) using SQL, we support SELECT, INSERT and DELETE with UPDATE, UPSERT, REPLACE coming, totally different architectural approach to the other solutions referenced in this thread, supports config/data supplied via Json or Jsonnet. If we look at cloud resources being defined by configuration, and configuration as (simply) data, then a SQL dialect makes absolute sense - as opposed to continuously inventing new and complex frameworks and DSLs.
