Description
Windows PowerShell 4.0 introduces Desired State Configuration (DSC), and it's time to put it to use. With DSC, you declaratively tell computers what you want them to look like, and how you want them to be configured, and let DSC make it happen and KEEP that configuration enforced. In this session, you not only see how DSC works, but you will be introduced to custom resource development, letting you start "teaching" DSC how to configure internal applications, databases, and other infrastructure elements.

concentrateddon I'll point out that http://powershell.org/wp/ebooks has the free "The DSC Book" mentioned in this session. It's updated there.
-
SlyFoxITPro Never a dull moment in a Don Jones presentation. Very informative session about not only DSC but the impact of automation in the workplace.

RickSheikh As usual great stuff from Don. I am wondering if the DCM (Compliance Settings, SCCM2012) should be added to the comparison/overlap/distinction context for DSC.

jblewis It's unfortunate that so much of the recording is just the slides, given that the slides are downloadable on their own.
