Seems like there should be a section on how to upgrade to latest release version which is currently only going to GitHub releases page

## Compatibility with Windows PowerShell modules

Support for PowerShell Core does not extend to other product modules unless they explicitly support PowerShell Core.
For example, using the `ActiveDirectory` that ships `as part of Windows Server is an unsupporgted scenario.

I sent you an updated md file in Teams. Moved links to bottom. Fixed some wording for style, etc.


## Notes on licensing

It's important to note that PowerShell Core can be *used* under the [MIT license][] by anyone regardless of whether they have a support agreement with Microsoft.

I changed the wording in the version I sent you. Has LCA approved this statement?

For example, if PowerShell Core 6.1 is released on July 1st, 2018,
you would be expected to update off of PowerShell Core 6.0 by January 1st, 2019 in order to stay supported.

I don't understand why we mention Windows PowerShell? It is already classic definition that PowerShell Core is a ported, multi-platform product.

PowerShell Core is a distinct set of tools and components that ships as separate package on Windows and Unix systems. Unlike the Windows PowerShell, the product is not a component of Windows systems and can be installed and configured side-by-side with Windows PowerShell. As a consequence it has its service model which is independent from Windows servicing model.

You can also pay for [assisted support][] for PowerShell Core by filing a support request for your problem.

We also offer [community support][] on GitHub where you can file an issue, bug, or feature request.
We offer no guarantee there that your issue will be addressed or resolved in a timely manner.

For example, if PowerShell Core 6.1 is released on July 1st, 2018,
you would be expected to update to PowerShell Core 6.1 by January 1st, 2019 to maintain support.

@joeyaiello What happens if it gets discovered that a customer cannot upgrade due to a breaking change but the customer does not strictly need the upgrade. If the previous version was at least supported (in a limited fashion) then the customer could undo the upgrade and wait for the fix in the next release.
Does support mean that we'll end up seeing patches every month just because some enterprise customers like the ones of my company encounter blocking problems in special cases or would they get custom versions?

@bergmeister I believe this is covered below by LTS although perhaps that section needs more details. Once a LTS version is declared, let's say 6.5.0 as an example. Then we would continue with 6.6.0, but also release 6.5.1 as needed on a servicing branch. cc @joeyaiello


The version 6.x branch of PowerShell Core will be updated approximately once every six months (e.g. 6.0, 6.1, 6.2, etc.)

PowerShell Core is a distinct set of tools and components that ships separately from Windows PowerShell.
Therefore, PowerShell Core is not included in the Windows 10 or Windows Server licensing agreements.

However, PowerShell Core is supported under traditional Microsoft support agreements, including [Premier][] and [Microsoft Enterprise Agreements][enterprise-agreement].

Support for PowerShell Core does not extend to other product modules unless those modules explicitly support PowerShell Core.
For example, using the `ActiveDirectory` module that ships as part of Windows Server is an unsupported scenario.

However, modules that do not explicitly support PowerShell Core may be compatible in some cases.

In order to drive people to push on compatibility problems, I've been asked to make that sort of info as highly visible as possible. It probably should live in another document though, you're right. I'm going to leave it for now, and remove it once I have something in official docs to link to.

We could keep the document as short as possible:

  2. 6-month support cycle
  3. Timeline picture
  4. Samples

All support options (EA, PSS,...), licensing, technical details could be moved in other documents.

We might want to mention that we only support PowerShell on these as long as DotNet and supports them and refer to there support page. https://github.com/dotnet/core/blob/master/release-notes/2.0/2.0-supported-os.md#windows This is largely to capture that they stop supporting the product when the underlying OS is no longer supported.


The Modern Lifecycle Policy also requires that Microsoft give customers 12 months notice before discontinuing support for a product (i.e. PowerShell Core).

Eventually, we expect PowerShell Core will adopt the "long-term servicing" approach where we would require only servicing and security updates to stay in support on a specific branch/version of 6.x.

- Also, it is now referenced (e.g. $Node.WebSiteName) in the DSC configuration document in MyWebApp.ps1.

* Updates configurations.md (#1855)

Two set of changes made.
- Example scripts e.g. MyDscConfiguration.ps1 define the configuration inside them and call the configuration at the end line. Removed the call to the configuration at the end. Since the article demonstrates dot-sourcing the file and calling the configuration explicitly.
- Fixed typo in the file name (TEST-PC1.mof  to localhost.mof ), since the ComputerName was not specified it should default to using 'localhost' as the default argument for it.

However, it points to a video about "Understanding Extension INFs and Component INFs".
I watched the whole video and there is nothing inside about "Code-Signing Best Practices".
The best match I have found is the following one: http://download.microsoft.com/download/a/f/7/af7777e5-7dcd-4800-8a0a-b18336565f5b/best_practices.doc
It would be a very good idea to make a web page from this document. Pieces of advice it contains are still accurate.

* Updates configurations.md (#1855)

Two set of changes made.
- Example scripts e.g. MyDscConfiguration.ps1 define the configuration inside them and call the configuration at the end line. Removed the call to the configuration at the end. Since the article demonstrates dot-sourcing the file and calling the configuration explicitly.
- Fixed typo in the file name (TEST-PC1.mof  to localhost.mof ), since the ComputerName was not specified it should default to using 'localhost' as the default argument for it.
