That's another valid option, but DSC provides a more declarative approach for configuration management.

I think Option B with Deployment YAML and Azure pipeline deployment groups could also be a good choice.

But what about Option C? Custom Script Extension for Windows could also work, right?

You make a good point. DSC is more battle-tested than the Custom Script Extension. Plus, with the PowerShell integration, you can really dial in the configuration management. I'm sold on A as well.

Hmm, I'm not so sure about C. The Custom Script Extension can be a bit finicky, and it might not give you the level of consistency you need. I'd probably go with A - the PowerShell DSC extension is a more robust solution for automating the VM configuration.

I agree, those seem like the most relevant options. With A, you get the benefits of ARM templates for consistent config, plus the PowerShell DSC extension to automate the setup. C is also a good choice, using ARM templates and the Custom Script Extension.

This question is really testing our understanding of Azure DevOps deployment strategies. I think the key here is to ensure consistent configuration and minimize admin effort, so I'm leaning towards either A or C.
