This has been asked before, but at the rate things change in Azure, I'm asking again to see if there is a way forward. I believe this is the SO way.
Rather than use the DSC VM extension nested under the VM deployment, I prefer to "register" the node under DSC in an Automation Account. To do so I am following the quick start template: VM-DSC-Extension-Azure-Automation-Pull-Server
In my automation account, I have several configurations. Is it possible to apply multiple configurations from one template' resource?
I believe I can only have one NodeConfigurationName under resource type:
"Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines/extensions" > properties.settings.properties.name
Is it a case of copying the whole resource block for each DSC configuration or should I be thinking of creating a "merged" config? (doesn't seem very portable).
