DSC is a management platform in Windows PowerShell that enables deploying and managing configuration data for software services and managing the environment in which these services run. DSC provides a set of Windows PowerShell language extensions, new Windows PowerShell cmdlets, and resources that you can use to declaratively specify how you want your software environment to be configured. It also provides a means to maintain and manage existing configurations.

The PowerShell Desired State Configuration Extension depends on the Windows Management Framework version 5.0. At this time, this software is only available on machines running Windows Server 2012 or Windows Server 2012 R2. Please see more details here.
