Programm
- Module 1: Introduction.
- Get an overview of Windows PowerShell Desired State Configuration (DSC), the requirements, versions, terminology, and implementation considerations. Understand where this technology can assist in server deployment and configuration.
- Module 2: Push.
- Begin working with MOF files and the Local Configuration Manager (LCM). Then learn how to write a configuration and push it to a target server. Finally, query the status of the server after configuration.
- Module 3: Pull.
- Build a central server to host configurations. Configure target nodes (servers) to get their configuration from the central server. Verify configuration success remotely.
- Module 4: Security.
- Understand the certificate requirements for securing DSC data. Encrypt configuration credentials at rest. Encrypt configuration data in transit. Compare security techniques against compliance requirements.
- Module 5: Resources.
- Work with configuration resources that are both built-in and open source. Discover and use resources from the Microsoft DSC Resource Kit. Stage resources for node use via either push or pull.
- Module 6: Custom Resources.
- Write resources for custom configuration scenarios. Use both script-based and class-based techniques. Learn how to manage reboots, test, and version custom resources. Understand best practices for designing and testing resources.
- Module 7: Troubleshooting.
- Configure the LCM to assist in troubleshooting scenarios. Enable and use the DSC event logs for researching issues. Leverage the xDscDiagnostics module to trace configurations on remote nodes. Use remote debugging for configurations and resources.
- Appendix 1: Advanced Configurations.
- Use PowerShell scripting to automate configuration creation. Scale configurations for multiple nodes and multiple role configurations using ConfigurationData. Abstract configuration resources using Composite Configurations.
- Appendix 2: Advanced LCM Scenarios.
- Configure a node with configuration data from multiple sources. Build multi-node configuration scenarios with cross-node dependencies. Compare configurations across multiple nodes for analysis and reporting.
- Appendix 3: Reporting.
- U se the built-in DSC reporting web service to report on desired state details of nodes. Configure nodes for central reporting. Integrate DSC status into other enterprise monitoring tools.
- Appendix 4: Azure.
- Configure virtual machines directly in Azure using the Azure DSC Extension. Apply configurations to existing Azure virtual machines. Automate dev/test scenarios.
