In this session we will look at Azure Policy Guest Configuration - a new implementation of DSC which can be leveraged to manage machines running anywhere.
Unlike Group Policy, the service does not have any domain requirements, it can be used across Windows and Linux and we can use Azure Resource Manager templates to define configurations as part of cloud applications.
In this session we will look at how we can leverage both built-in content in Azure Policy, and how we can build our own custom content based on existing DSC configurations and Group Policies.
We will also see how we can manage the service using PowerShell, as well as how we can report and alert on compliance drift and remediation actions.
