I stopped worrying and in most cases just write configs for my tools in python. Then you can just import/exec it and you're done. I can use all the operations/primitives I already know in Python: string interpolation & operations, loops, Pathlib, imports etc. I can use mypy and all the other existing linting tools to make sure my configuration is correct without having to write a custom linter (and basically reimplement 10% of mypy).

Shameless plug if you wanna read a longer analysis: https://beepb00p.xyz/configs-suck.html

A great example is pyinfra https://github.com/Fizzadar/pyinfra#readme Think Ansible but instead of YAML you write Python. It provides a set of primitives/DSL and some rules you need to adhere to, but otherwise you just write regular python code.

Same. Using Boto3. But your packages sound good as well. Also curious about Pulumi. Boto3 really isnt that good :D
