Abstract:
Technologies are provided for non-monotonic eventual convergence for desired state configuration (“DSC”). In some situations DSC cannot move toward a desired state without first moving further from that state. For example, a file that needs to be replaced with a newer version but that is currently executing (desired state of “operating”) cannot be replaced without first being stopped. But stopping moves in the wrong direction relative to the desired state, which is to have the service operating. This moving away so as to be able to move forward is a problem for conventional DSC systems that results in failures. The solution to this problem is non-monotonic eventual convergence (“NMEC”) which enables a DSC system to configure a target system for a desired state by moving further away from a desired state if that is needed to eventually reach the desired state.

Claim (Index 8):
A computing device comprising:\n at least one processor and memory that is coupled to the at least one processor and that includes computer-executable instructions that, based on execution by the at least one processor, configure the computing device to perform actions comprising:\n determining, by the computing device, that a resource required for a target desired state of the computing device needs to be replaced, that the resource is in a state that is consistent with the target desired state, but that the resource cannot be replaced due to being in the state; \n configuring, by the computing device, the resource to be in a temporary state in which the resource is able to be replaced but where the temporary state is further away from the target desired state than is the state; \n replacing, by the computing device subsequent to the configuring, the resource; and \n setting, by the computing device, the state of the replaced resource to the target desired state.
