That is part of the automation module here: <https://www.pulumi.com/docs/reference/pkg/azure/automation/>

forgot to mention that I'm trying this with AzureNextGen

This then?
<https://www.pulumi.com/docs/reference/pkg/azure-nextgen/automation/>

yes, read that - can't figure out how to relate a VM to DSC configuration..

I believe you would add the DSC extension to the VM (<https://www.pulumi.com/docs/reference/pkg/azure-nextgen/compute/virtualmachineextension/|https://www.pulumi.com/docs/reference/pkg/azure-nextgen/compute/virtualmachineextension/>) and provide the Automation configuration name as part of that setup.
Or maybe we’re talking about different things or steps?
