Desired State Configuration (DSC) and Glazier Configuration

[jason...@gmail.com]

I really love this stuff, so I've got a bunch of questions, but I'll keep it focused :-)

Is Glazier a declarative configuration alternative to PowerShell's DSC? Or, is DSC a compliment to Glazier, since Glazier can be extended with PowerShell scripts (and/or Python)? Thanks guys!

We use Glazier strictly as an imaging tool, so we view it as a compliment to configuration management solutions. Ideally you want as much permanent (or "desired") state handled by a persistent config management product like DSC, Puppet, etc, that will keep the host healthy over time. Glazier focuses on how to bootstrap from bare device into the initial image, and the config management tool(s) own the host from there.
