Reusable multi-language component for a desired state configuration system

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing executable computer instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform steps comprising:

• receiving, from a client device, a computer program comprising an instruction for creating an instance of a component, the instruction including a set of input parameters for creating the instance;
• creating the component based on the instruction,
• wherein the component includes a plurality of resources, the plurality of resources including one or more of a compute resource, a storage resource, or a network resource,
• wherein the component includes logic that defines a desired state configuration authored in a first procedural configuration language,
• wherein the component comprises one or more child components,
• wherein at least a child component is authored in a second procedural configuration language that is different from the first procedural configuration language, and
• wherein the component comprises a schema authored in a declarative language, the schema specifying output properties of the component, and the declarative language different from the first procedural configuration language and the second procedural configuration language;
• determining a list of needed resources by comparing the desired state configuration specified to a current state configuration of an environment in a cloud computing provider, the list of needed resources including the plurality of resources of the component;
• generating a software development kit (SDK) for the second procedural configuration language based on the schema of the component, wherein the SDK enables cross-language instantiation of the component from the computer program written in the first procedural configuration language within a desired state configuration system for managing a cloud computing infrastructure, the SDK being generated from the schema to enable component reuse across different procedural configuration languages;
• generating, by a service, a complete set of output properties for the list of needed resources by performing a recursive process comprising, for one or more iterations of the recursive process:
• constructing the list of needed resources with the set of input parameters,
• generating a set of output properties for the list of needed resources, wherein at least one resource and corresponding output properties for the child component is constructed by using the SDK for the second procedural configuration language,
• determining whether a terminating condition is achieved based on whether additional resources to be constructed are physical resources or component resources, wherein the terminating condition is achieved when the additional resources to be constructed are physical resources, and
• responsive to determining that the terminating condition is not achieved invoking another recursive process to construct at least an additional component configured to construct additional resources;
• responsive to determining that the terminating condition is achieved, terminating the recursive process and defining the complete set of output properties to include each generated set of output properties;
• and
• providing the complete set of output properties to the client device, the complete set of output properties representing information associated with the list of needed resources constructed within the cloud computing provider.
