Suggested Answer: A 🗳️
DSC gives us a declarative model for system configuration management. What that really means is that we can specify how we want a workstation or server (a "˜node') to be configured and we leave it to PowerShell and the Windows Workflow engine to make it happen on those target "˜nodes'. We don't have to specify how we want it to happen.
The main advantages of DSC are:
✑ To simplify your sysadmin tasks by configuring one or more devices automatically
✑ To be able to configure machines identically with the aim to standardize them
✑ To ensure, at a given time, that the configuration of a machine always be identical to its initial configuration, so as to avoid drift
✑ Deployment on demand as a Cloud strategy, or "˜en masse', is largely automated and simplified
