Azure-DSC-Template

Details here https://marckean.com/2018/07/24/azure-dsc-deployment-using-a-json-template/

Basically

• Deploys an Azure VM
• Deploys a vNet into a separate Resource Group (Cross Resource Group Deployment), a resource group used for shared resources
• Leverages the Custom Script extension which runs a script as the local computer account at the time of deployment. This script copies a script from the artifcats location to the local C:\ drive to be used as a user logon script. The DSC sets up a scheduled task to call the script at the time of any user logon.

This Repo:

• leverages the DSC extension to run the configuration on the VM. The JSON template also feeds parameter values into a DSC configuration script via the DSC extension

My other Repo

• Leverages the DSC extension only to register the VM with the Azure Automation pull server in order for DSC to run the configuration on the VM.
