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.
