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.
