PowerShell DSC on the AWS Cloud: PowerShell DSC Quick Start

This is official Amazon Web Services (AWS) documentation for the PowerShell Quick Start. This Quick Start deploys a highly available Windows PowerShell Desired State Configuration (PowerShell DSC) environment in the AWS Cloud. PowerShell DSC enables you to express the desired state of your systems using declarative language syntax instead of complex imperative scripts. You can use PowerShell DSC with AWS CloudFormation to bootstrap and configure servers and apps for your software platform on AWS. PowerShell DSC clients can pull their configurations from a server or have their configurations pushed to them locally or from a remote system. This Quick Start includes AWS CloudFormation templates to support both architectures in a Multi-AZ environment on AWS. See the deployment guide for architectural considerations and step-by-step deployment instructions. The deployment guide is offered here as a free Kindle book, or you can read it online or in PDF format; see https://aws.amazon.com/quickstart/architecture/powershell-dsc/.
