Suggested Answer:
Step 1: Assign the node configuration.
You create a simple DSC configuration that ensures either the presence or absence of the Web-Server Windows Feature (IIS), depending on how you assign nodes.
Step 2: Upload a configuration to Azure Automation State Configuration.
You import the configuration into the Automation account.
Step 3: Compiling a configuration into a node configuration
Compiling a configuration in Azure Automation
Before you can apply a desired state to a node, a DSC configuration defining that state must be compiled into one or more node configurations (MOF document), and placed on the Automation DSC Pull Server.
Step 4: Onboard the virtual machines to Azure State Configuration
Onboarding an Azure VM for management with Azure Automation State Configuration
Step 5: Check the compliance status of the node.
Viewing reports for managed nodes. Each time Azure Automation State Configuration performs a consistency check on a managed node, the node sends a status report back to the pull server. You can view these reports on the page for that node.
On the blade for an individual report, you can see the following status information for the corresponding consistency check:
The report status ג€" whether the node is "Compliant", the configuration "Failed", or the node is "Not Compliant" (when the node is in ApplyandMonitor mode and the machine is not in the desired state).

Wrong. Answers are here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/automation/tutorial-configure-servers-desired-state "Azure Automation State Configuration allows you to specify configurations for your servers and ensure that those servers are in the specified state over time. 1. Onboard a VM to be managed by Azure Automation DSC 2. Upload a configuration to Azure Automation 3. Compile a configuration into a node configuration 4. Assign a node configuration to a managed node 5. Check the compliance status of a managed node 6. For this tutorial, we use a simple DSC configuration that ensures that IIS is installed on the VM."

Thank you for the pithy comments and sharing the useful link. Compared to the flow provided from here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/automation/automation-dsc-getting-started Is that possible due to the different perspective from the machines and from Automation State Configuration itself differ the steps?

Both of the answers you gave are correct and in fact it says in the question that there are multiple types of answer sorting. I would add that the following sorting would also be correct: 1. Upload a config 2. Onboard the VM 3. Compile a configuration 4. Assign node configuration 5. check compliance status in fact as you can see from the article below the upload and onboard process are independent. Just look at what parameters are passed in the powershell commands. For example to do the onboard you need: - a resource group - an automation accouint - a VM (with the DSC extension installed) https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/automation/tutorial-configure-servers-desired-state

Gotta say he is right. A node configuration is a result of compiling a configuration, so you cant assign it before compiling your configuration.

Upload: You need to upload the configuration file (DSC script) to Azure Automation State Configuration. Compile: After uploading, you need to compile the configuration into a node configuration. Onboard: Next, you need to onboard the virtual machine as a DSC node. Assign the node configuration: After onboarding the virtual machine, you need to assign the compiled node configuration to the DSC node. Check: Finally, you need to check the compliance of the node. This will tell you whether the actual state of the virtual machine matches the desired state defined in the node configuration.
