Using PowerShell DSC
Like Bash, PowerShell is a shell with strong scripting possibilities. We might think that PowerShell is more of a scripting language and that can be used to carry out simple operations or to create resources as we have done so far. However, the capabilities of PowerShell are beyond that and extend all the way to automation and configuration.
DSC is an important but little-known part of PowerShell that, instead of automating scripts in the PowerShell language, provides declarative orchestration in PowerShell.
If you compare it to Ansible, support for Linux is very limited. But it is very useful for common administration tasks, and missing features can be compensated for with PowerShell scripts. Microsoft is very focused on getting it on a par with Windows Server. When that happens, it will be replaced by PowerShell DSC Core, a move very similar to what they did before with PowerShell | PowerShell Core. This will be finished by the end of 2019.
