There are many different tools for configuration, but we are going to explore Azure Automation as the Azure-native configuration as code tool.

Azure Automation can be used for automating and scheduling different tasks. When talking about configuration as code, Azure Automation uses DSC. DSC is a declarative management platform in PowerShell, used for the configuration, deployment, and management of systems.
