Deployment Frameworks

The hamlet.io documentation is currently under significant re-development. Existing content is a placeholder and will be updated very soon.

Deployment Frameworks define the necessary routines, macros and functions (link to this section) to construct the output file types used by hamlet to deploy to a chosen provider
Not all provider frameworks expose the full potential of that provider
by implementing multiple frameworks that interact with a provider, hamlet is then capable of orchestrating the best, simplest or sometimes only method of a desired configuration
hamlet can then incorporate cloud provider configurations no matter how they are offered to end users
hamlet internally uses the “default” deployment framework which is defined within the shared provider
Additional Deployment Frameworks can be added to hamlet by way of engine plugins (link)

Deployment Framework Features

Deployment Frameworks must define their output types
- as well as all supporting functions and macros for their generation
They also may optionally define data models (link to models docs) relevant to that provider and framework
