Microsoft has PowerShell and DSC as their automation solution. Its pretty ridiculous to say that they are not providing that.

- firesteelrain 2y agoI use DSCs too though I prefer Ansible. Sometimes I combine Ansible with DSCs

It very quickly becomes immensely frustrating, but doing the same on Linux is much less so (Mac is somewhere in the middle). You'll also find that when it comes to achieving something you don't yet know how to do, even finding a scriptable solution on Windows is kind of a nightmare because both the Microsoft documentation and every third-party website and blog is flooded with (useless, for this exercise) manual GUI garbage. DSC is nice, though.
