Windows PowerShell Desired State Configuration (DSC) Quick Start Reference Deployment
This new Quick Start Reference Deployment outlines architectural considerations and steps for implementing a configuration management solution using the PowerShell DSC platform. This reference is specifically designed to provide an understanding of how to use AWS CloudFormation and PowerShell DSC to bootstrap your servers and applications from scratch, how to deploy a highly available PowerShell DSC pull server environment using AWS resources, and how to ensure that your instances are resilient to configuration drift once your Windows-based application stack has been deployed on AWS.
