# YAML

The analysis of YAML files is enabled for some organizations via a feature flag, and will soon be enabled by default for all users. If you want to manually opt-in, you can set the `sonar.featureflag.cloud-security-enable-generic-yaml-and-json-analyzer` property to `true`.

By setting the above mentioned property to `false`, you can also opt-out of the analysis during this roll-out phase.

You can permanently disable the analysis by setting the `sonar.yaml.activate` property to `false` .

These properties do not affect analysis of language / framework specific YAML files.

In addition to this general YAML analysis, YAML files detected as belonging to [cloudformation](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-cloud/~/changes/1027/analyzing-source-code/languages/cloudformation "mention"), [kubernetes](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-cloud/~/changes/1027/analyzing-source-code/languages/kubernetes "mention"), or [ansible](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-cloud/~/changes/1027/analyzing-source-code/languages/ansible "mention") are also analyzed by the dedicated analyzers.
