Code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: "DSC operates in a push scenario when configurations are manually pushed to target nodes using the Start-DscConfiguration Cmdlet."

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:
