NON-MONOTONIC EVENTUAL CONVERGENCE FOR DESIRED STATE CONFIGURATION

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 stoppingmoves 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 adesired state if that is needed to eventually reach the desired state. 为期望状态配置("DSC")提供用于非单调最终收敛的技术。在些情况下，如果不首先远离期望状态移动，则DSC不能朝向期望状态移动。例如，需要使用较新版本替换但是当前正在执行(期望的"操作"状态)的文件在没有首先停止的情况下不能进行替换。但是停止在相对于期望状态的错误方向上移动，这是为了使服务操作。为了能够向前
