DSC is a management platform in PowerShell that enables you to manage your IT and development
1010
infrastructure with configuration as code.

There are three versions of DSC available:
1313

14-
- DSC 1.1 is the legacy version of DSC that originally shipped in Windows PowerShell 5.1.
15-
- DSC 2.0 is the version of DSC that shipped in PowerShell 7.
14+
- Microsoft DSC 3.0 is the new version of DSC. This version is a preview release that is still being
15+
developed. Users working with non-Windows environments can expect cross-platform features in DSC
16+
3.0. DSC 3.0 is the version that is supported by the [machine configuration][01] feature of Azure
17+
Automanage.
18+
19+
- PowerShell DSC 2.0 is the version of DSC that shipped in PowerShell 7.

With the release of PowerShell 7.2, the **PSDesiredStateConfiguration** module is no longer
1822
included in the PowerShell package. Separating DSC into its own module allows us to invest and
1923
develop DSC independent of PowerShell and reduces the size of the PowerShell package. Users of DSC
2024
will enjoy the benefit of upgrading DSC without the need to upgrade PowerShell, accelerating the time
2125
to deployment of new DSC features. Users that want to continue using DSC v2 can download
2226
**PSDesiredStateConfiguration** 2.0.5 from the PowerShell Gallery.

The documentation for DSC has been moved to a new location so that we can manage the DSC

version-specific information separately from the versions of PowerShell.
