Upgrade from the puppetlabs-dsc module

 

To upgrade from the puppetlabs-dsc module, do the following:

  1. Remove the puppetlabs-dsc module from your Puppetfile.
  2. Replace the puppetlabs-dsc module with declarations for each of the modules you want.
  3. Optional: To avoid any future code changes, pin the DSC modules to the versions that shipped in the latest release of puppetlabs-dsc. Note that a benefit of the new module is that you do not need to include every DSC resource.
  4. Choose only the resources you need from the following list and declare them in your Puppetfile:

    The underlying DSC versions are likely to have changed — you can update the modules to the latest versions one at a time, while testing each change. No code changes are required, except for DSC updates.
