 Running a YAML file in the context of DevOps, means parsing or interpreting its contents for the process of configuration rather than the process of execution like a script for code.

Here is the example given of how you can use a YAML file:

Let’s consider a scenario in which you have a Python script that needs to configure data by using a YAML file whose name is “config.yaml”. You would use a PyYAML in Python language for reading and even loading the file of YAML:-

Import yaml
With open(‘config.yaml’, ‘r’) as file:
    Config_data = yaml.safe_load(file)
# Now ‘config_data’ contains the parsed contents of your YAML file
# You can access specific configuration values like config_data[‘key’]
# and use them within your Python script

This code will certainly assume that you have downloaded the PyYAML package if not install it by using the command “pip install PyYAML”. You would need to adjust the path of the file and data access according to the structure of your YAML file fir suit your requirements.
