It looks like a way to dynamically put in values based on certain conditions, but there's no documentation on this particular syntax. I can see the "$." in jinja configuration and MongoDB's documentation also shows the same concept; just that in Deployment Manager, it's $.ifNull ...
There are other set of functions that are used such as: $.resource, $.concat, etc. But again, we don't have a documented reference for the list.

I don't see much similarity between the two. – Asif Tanwir Aug 18 '18 at 18:04
