DSC Core and on-prem pull server

[steskalja]

Has there been any official update or plan for DSC Core and on-prem pull servers now that Powershell v7 is out? Many people have on-prem requirements and cannot use Azure DSC.

Yes, a few announcements have been made, but nothing that directly translates in a new 'CORE' LCM that would directly replace 5.1.

Azure Policy Guest Configuration and Azure Arc (on prem with Azure Control Plane): https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/governance/policy/concepts/guest-configuration

Azure Policy Guest Configuration (and through Azure Arc) supports PS Core DSC resources cross platform.
That means you can audit your linux vm running on your vmware servers and report it into your Azure Data plane.

Hope that answers the question.

This doesn't replace or update On-Prem DSC. There are many times when you cannot connect to the internet to use Azure DSC

I'm not saying it replaces what you can do with 5.1, just pointing to the latest official update and plan.

If it's not in there, it's not in the plan.
I agree that's a pain as many would like to see one, myself included.
