+
+## Security
+
+Microsoft takes the security of our software products and services seriously, which includes all source code repositories managed through our GitHub organizations, which include [Microsoft](https://github.com/Microsoft), [Azure](https://github.com/Azure), [DotNet](https://github.com/dotnet), [AspNet](https://github.com/aspnet), [Xamarin](https://github.com/xamarin) and [PowerShell](https://github.com/PowerShell).
+
+If you believe you have found a security vulnerability in any Microsoft-owned repository that meets [Microsoft's definition of a security vulnerability](https://aka.ms/security.md/definition), please report it to us as described below.
+
+## Reporting Security Issues
+
+**Please do not report security vulnerabilities through public GitHub issues.**
+
+Instead, please report them to the Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC) at [https://msrc.microsoft.com/create-report](https://aka.ms/security.md/msrc/create-report).
+
+If you prefer to submit without logging in, send email to [secure@microsoft.com](mailto:secure@microsoft.com).  If possible, encrypt your message with our PGP key; please download it from the [Microsoft Security Response Center PGP Key page](https://aka.ms/security.md/msrc/pgp).
+
+You should receive a response within 24 hours. If for some reason you do not, please follow up via email to ensure we received your original message. Additional information can be found at [microsoft.com/msrc](https://www.microsoft.com/msrc). 
+
+Please include the requested information listed below (as much as you can provide) to help us better understand the nature and scope of the possible issue:
+
+  * Type of issue (e.g. buffer overflow, SQL injection, cross-site scripting, etc.)
+  * Full paths of source file(s) related to the manifestation of the issue
+  * The location of the affected source code (tag/branch/commit or direct URL)
+  * Any special configuration required to reproduce the issue
+  * Step-by-step instructions to reproduce the issue
+  * Proof-of-concept or exploit code (if possible)
+  * Impact of the issue, including how an attacker might exploit the issue
+
+This information will help us triage your report more quickly.
+
+If you are reporting for a bug bounty, more complete reports can contribute to a higher bounty award. Please visit our [Microsoft Bug Bounty Program](https://aka.ms/security.md/msrc/bounty) page for more details about our active programs.
+
+## Preferred Languages
+
+We prefer all communications to be in English.
+
+## Policy
+
+Microsoft follows the principle of [Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure](https://aka.ms/security.md/cvd).

-# How to Create PSDesiredStateConfiguration NuGet package for PoweShell Core
- Modify psm1 file in PSDesiredStateConfiguration module.
- -- Remove the signature from the bottom of the file.
- -- Add your changes.
- -- Get it signed from DSC Azure dev ops pipeline.
-     Following is the expected signing settings:
-	<file src="__INPATHROOT__\Modules\PSDesiredStateConfiguration\PSDesiredStateConfiguration.psm1" signType="AuthenticodeFormer" dest="__OUTPATHROOT__\Modules\PSDesiredStateConfiguration\PSDesiredStateConfiguration.psm1" />
+# PSDesiredStateConfiguration module

- Other files under PSDesiredStateConfiguration module doesn’t need to be signed, you can modify them directly.
+> [!NOTE]
+> The next generation of this platform is in development. Please submit your feedback on [DSC v3](https://github.com/powershell/dsc).

- Change the version in nuget spec file.
+**PSDesiredStateConfiguration** (DSC) is the PowerShell module that enables writing configuration as code.

- Check-in these changes in DesiredStateConfiguration repository.
+The DSC platform was originally built on top of WMI for Windows. Starting in PowerShell 7.1 and working
+with internal partner teams
+[Azure Guest Configuration](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/governance/policy/concepts/guest-configuration)
+and [Automanage](https://azure.microsoft.com/services/azure-automanage), we started making
+DSC cross-platform by enabling `Invoke-DSCResource` to directly use resources without going through
+the Local Configuration Manager (LCM).

- Create a NuGet package by running following command, it will generate NuGet package (PSDesiredStateConfiguration.6.2.0.nupkg). Get it published by PowerShell team.
-	nuget pack .\psdesiredstateconfiguration.nuspec
+Our initial cross-platform work to enable partner teams:

-# Modify PowerShell code to pick up new version of NuGet package.
- - Sync PowerShell/PowerShell repository and change NuGet package version in following files
-        src/powershell-unix/powershell-unix.csproj
-        src/powershell-win-core/powershell-win-core.csproj
+- Separated out the DSC parts in the PowerShell engine and moved them as a subsystem into the
+  PSDesiredStateConfiguration module
+- Remove PSDesiredStateConfiguration module from the PowerShell 7 package. This allows the
+  PSDesiredStateConfiguration module to be developed independently of PowerShell and users can mix
+  and match versions of PowerShell and PSDesiredStateConfiguration for their environment.
+  - This is now available on the PowerShell Gallery: [PSDesiredStateConfiguration 2.x](https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/PSDesiredStateConfiguration)
+- Removing the dependency on MOF: Initially, only support DSC Resources written as PowerShell
+  classes. This includes tooling to convert existing script based DSC Resources to be wrapped as
+  PowerShell classes.

- Send PR to PowerShell team

+community to review the documentation and assist us as we work on new documentation during the platform
+development.

+## Community Feedback
+
+As we continue this journey to make DSC a cross-platform technology, we invite the community to
+share your ideas and open

+7.3 timeframe, we remain focused on enabling partner teams and will not be accepting public pull
+requests.
+
+## Build
+
+### Requirements
+- [Any recent PowerShell Core release](https://github.com/PowerShell/powershell/releases) to run the build script
+- [.NET Core SDK](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet/thank-you/sdk-6.0.100-preview.4-windows-x64-binaries) of the version specified in `global.json` (`dotnet` should be visible through PATH env var)
+- [`PSPackageProject` module](https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/PSPackageProject) installed from PS Gallery
+
+### Build Process
+- Run `build.ps1 -Build -Clean`
+- Compiled module will be in `./out/PSDesiredStateConfiguration`
+
+## CI - Continuous Integration
+CI pipeline definition is in `.vsts-ci\azure-pipelines-ci.yml` and running Compliance and Pester tests in `test\PSDesiredStateConfiguration.Tests.ps1` on Windows, Linux and Mac. CI builds are not signed.
+
+## Publishing Releases
+[The module is released on Powershell Gallery](https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/PSDesiredStateConfiguration).
+For a release the code of this repo is mirrored into an internal repo and `.vsts-ci\azure-pipelines-release.yml` pipeline is run. Release builds are signed.
