Resource Development
.NET libraries for quick, painless resource creation. Extend OpenDSC with custom resources tailored to your infrastructure.
Continuous Drift Correction
The LCM service continuously monitors system state, automatically detects configuration drift, and corrects it — keeping your infrastructure in the desired state.
Pull Server
Centralized configuration delivery with versioning, node targeting, and compliance tracking across your entire infrastructure.
Cross-Platform Management
Unified management experience across Windows, Linux, and macOS. One framework, one DSC resource model, consistent everywhere.
mTLS Security
Secure-by-default node communication with certificate-based authentication. Zero-trust architecture from day one.
Management Dashboard
Centralized view of node compliance, configuration status, and drift remediation history. See your entire infrastructure at a glance.
Legacy Migration Tools
Convert existing PowerShell DSC configurations to the modern OpenDSC format, enabling seamless migration from legacy workflows.
REST API Access
Programmatic control for integration with existing automation tools and CI/CD pipelines. Automate everything.
Configurations
Declarative specifications of desired infrastructure state. Write once, deploy everywhere. Version-controlled, auditable, and composable to manage complex systems.
Composite Configurations
Assign multiple configurations to a single node based on its role. Build flexible, reusable patterns for complex infrastructure without duplication.
Parameters
Reuse configurations across environments by defining variables at deployment time. Deploy identical configs to dev, staging, and production with environment-specific values.
Scopes
Create custom scopes—Region, Environment, or any dimension you need—to override parameters hierarchically. OpenDSC automatically merges them based on precedence.
Reporting & Compliance
Real-time visibility into node compliance, configuration status, and remediation history. Instantly identify non-compliant systems and track deployment across your infrastructure.
Resource Development Kit
Build custom resources in C# using our well-documented .NET framework. Type-safe, testable, and production-ready in minutes.
