It is aligned with the configuration as a code concept, wherein you can define the desired state of your environments as simple text-based configurations and ensure compliance against these configurations. PowerShell DSC is supported in Azure Automation, where you can upload your DSC configurations, compile them, and apply them to DSC nodes. This chapter covers the components of PowerShell DSC; you’ll learn how to create and apply DSC configurations and how the whole workflow can be done again via Azure Automation DSC.
