Jess Pomfret takes us through resources in Desired State Configuration:
A critical part of our DSC configuration is made up of resources. These are the building blocks we need to to define our desired state. There are two kinds of resources that we can use: class based and MOF based (most common). We are going to focus our efforts today on looking at MOF based resources.
Resources come packaged up as modules and our servers, which use at least WMF 4.0, come with several built-in. We have two main options for additional resources; we can find DSC resource modules in the PowerShell Gallery or we can write our own.
Jess wraps up the post with five useful resources for database administrators.
