# Syntax Overview

Cloudscript's is largely built on HCL's structure, making it simple and readable, while also covering all of the same features as terraform, ansible and kubernetes.

### General Syntax Blueprint

```hcl
type CustomType {...}

providers {...}

service "name" {
    
    provider = "..."
    
    infrastructure {...}
    
    configuration {...}
    
    containers {...}
    
    deployment {...}
}
```

Cloudscript code is compartmentalized into the format shown above. See the sections referenced below for syntax features and formatting for each of the component modules.
