 This article provides a step-by-step guide for doing the most common tasks with Azure Automation State Configuration, such as creating, importing, and compiling configurations, enabling machines to manage, and viewing reports. For an overview State Configuration, see [State Configuration overview](automation-dsc-overview.md). For Desired State Configuration (DSC) documentation, see [Windows PowerShell Desired State Configuration Overview](/powershell/scripting/dsc/overview/overview).
 
+> [!NOTE]
+> Before you enable Automation State Configuration, we would like you to know that a newer version of DSC is now available in preview, managed by a feature of Azure Policy named [guest configuration](../governance/policy/concepts/guest-configuration.md). The guest configuration service combines features of DSC Extension, Azure Automation State Configuration, and the most commonly requested features from customer feedback. Guest configuration also includes hybrid machine support through [Arc-enabled servers](../azure-arc/servers/overview.md).

 If you want a sample environment that is already set up without following the steps described in this
 article, you can use the [Azure Automation Managed Node template](https://github.com/Azure/azure-quickstart-templates/tree/master/quickstarts/microsoft.automation/automation-configuration). This template sets up a complete State Configuration (DSC) environment, including an Azure VM that is managed by State Configuration (DSC).
