Drag items

Onboard the virtual machines to Azure Automation State Configuration.Check the compliance status of the node.Create a management group.Assign the node configuration.Compile a configuration into a node configuration.Upload a configuration to Azure Automation State Configuration.Assign tags to the virtual machines.

Correct arrangement

  • Onboard the virtual machines to Azure Automation State Configuration.
  • Upload a configuration to Azure Automation State Configuration.
  • Compile a configuration into a node configuration.
  • Assign the node configuration.
  • Check the compliance status of the node.

Explanation

The correct sequence for Azure Automation State Configuration follows a logical workflow: first onboard VMs to bring them under management, then upload a DSC configuration script, compile it into a node configuration (MOF file), assign the node configuration to the registered nodes, and finally check compliance status to verify consistency. This sequence reflects the mandatory technical dependencies - you cannot assign a node configuration before compiling it, and you cannot check compliance before assigning a configuration.
