From scratch should (and would) be possible if said #configuration isn't just proprietary bs but actually following a documented syntax akin to any proper #configuration.

• I assume this is NOT the case cuz otherwise you'd not offer said job.

Not to mention #vendors prefer #siloing amd #Enshittifying products, so having #InterchangeableFormats goes against their primary #commercial interests.

• We can see this peak with #Cisco & #Microsoft pushing both proprietary #SingleVendor & #SingleProvider standards, #patenting the implementation (i.e. #VRRP) and sueing everyone who wants to implement them (i.e. #CARP had to do a shitton of redundant work!) whilst also refusing to follow #Standards (i.e. #Posix new line [en.m.wikipedia.org] ) & #Conventions (I've seen literal CISCO <=> #IETF dictionaries!)...

Sadly it's more #unrealistic to see such standardization to happen than #YAML being replaced by [github.com] #YADL...
