Desired State Configuration for Linux
Intercom
Conclusions
The "declarative instead of imperative" approach certainly has its charm on Windows servers. Instead of an admin testing a setting manually and adjusting it as needed, the systems pick up the desired settings autonomously. Because an open standard was chosen to achieve this objective, DSC becomes future proof. OMI implementations are available for Linux, Apple, and Android, so nothing can prevent you from defining a universal configuration. The only thing left to be desired is an infrastructure that facilitates the process of creating nodes and assigned resources.
