Desired State Configuration for VMware

Overview

The Desired State Configuration for VMware project contains VMware.vSphereDSC and VMware.PSDesiredStateConfiguration PowerShell modules.

The VMware.vSphereDSC module is a collection of DSC Resources. This module includes DSC resources that simplify the management of vCenter and ESXi settings, with a simple declarative language.

The VMware.vSphereDSC module contains resources for:

• Datacenters, Folders and Clusters
• Standard and distributed switches and portgroups and network migration between them
• Host network adapters
• Datastores (VMFS and NFS) and storage adapters
• Host accounts, roles and permissions
• vCenter and Host settings

The VMware.PSDesiredStateConfiguration module provides an alternative in-language way to compile and execute DSC Configurations. It does not require the use of LCM and supports PowerShell 7.0.
