datum

DSC Infra sample

Datum is a PowerShell module used to aggregate DSC configuration data from multiple sources allowing you to define generic information (Roles) and specific overrides (i.e. per Node, Location, Environment) without repeating yourself.

A Sample repository of an Infrastructure, managed from code using Datum is available in the DscInfraSample project, along with more explanations of its usage and the recommended Control repository layout

It is a small PoC to show the benefits with Datum and Infrastructure as Code.

You can build some Node Configurations with the script in Tools / CreateHosts.ps1
