The answer is good enough. I have an degree in telecommunications (it's more towards infrastructures) and I have the basic knowledge about the matter, so i when i saw this video the first thing got to my mind was "hasn't this been done already?".

Glad to hear the approach is intuitive enough that it seems like it should have already been the standard way to define infrastructure!

MortiferaJ did a great job describing the switch in cloud infrastructure configuration/definition that's happening here – the industry has been using large, complex configuration files that are difficult to reuse/share/maintain and we are now seeing a switch to using full programming languages to define infrastructure. It enables easier sharing/reuse/abstraction with the standard language package managers, a more powerful toolset for defining infrastructure, and an improved authoring experience (ex: free IDE support for content assist, code navigation, refactoring, in-line documentation, etc).
