LinuxCon + CloudOpen + ContainerCon NA 2015

DSC is yet another means for administrators to manage configuration in a heterogeneous environment. Not only does it provide a healthy bridge for Linux and Windows administrators to blend knowledge and experience across both closed and open source foundations, it also helps improve the reliability of repetitive tasks required by today's workloads. Cloud services already offer rich powershell integration (Azure, AWS) - allowing combination of server setup and cloud deployment to help scale on any IaaS platform a business relies upon. Microsoft's push to open .Net Core and many of the tools are an opportunity to learn new ways of integration when integration is your only option.
