As I described in the title, I'm looking for a way to manage the config of a lot of WS2019 (Windows Server 2019) VMs running on Hyper-V in an on-premise setup.
I am not familiar with the Windows Server ecosystem at all, so I do not know what a common / popular setup would be.
For Linux VMs, I would be looking into Ansible or Chef. For Windows, I looked into DSC, which seemed to be a good way to achieve what I wanted, but I stumbled upon this article : https://devblogs.microsoft.com/powershell/dsc-planning-update-june-2019/.It is basically the last article Microsoft ever published about DSC, and there have not been any updates for quite a while from what I saw. I don't know if it is deprecated or not, or if I am safe using it in a production environment ?
What would be your tool of choice for managing the config of hundreds of Windows VMs on-premise ?
