Description

The Start-AzAutomationDscCompilationJob cmdlet compiles an APS Desired State Configuration (DSC) configuration in Azure Automation.

Examples

Example 1: Compile an Azure DSC configuration in Automation

$Params = @{"StringParam"="Hello World";"IntegerParam"=32}
Start-AzAutomationDscCompilationJob -ConfigurationName "Config01" -Parameters $Params -ResourceGroupName "ResourceGroup01"

The first command creates a dictionary of parameters, and stores them in the $Params variable. The second command compiles the DSC configuration named Config01. The command includes the values in $Params for DSC configuration parameters.

Example 2: Compile an Azure DSC configuration in Automation with a new Node Configuration build version.

$Params = @{"StringParam"="Hello World";"IntegerParam"=32}
Start-AzAutomationDscCompilationJob -ConfigurationName "Config01" -Parameters $Params -ResourceGroupName "ResourceGroup01" -IncrementNodeConfigurationBuild

Similar to the first example, the first command creates a dictionary of parameters, and stores them in the $Params variable. The second command compiles the DSC configuration named Config01. The command includes the values in $Params for DSC configuration parameters. It does not override the earlier existing Node Configuration by creating a new Node Configuration with the name Config01[<2>].<NodeName>. The version number is incremented based on the existing version number already present.
