In what universe is protobuf simple? Also what do you even mean by protobuf here? The actual format is binary and I'm not expecting people to pass around binary blobs that describe their deployment configuration. to serialize it, you're writing code in some language... then what? you just want deployment as code? because that seems like a separate paradigm.
