• The examples under the folder DSC/Examples will be published to PowerShell Gallery
  so that they show up in the gallery part of Azure State Configuration.
  The examples are published under the account 'dscresourcekit' which is
  owned by the PowerShell DSC Team (DSC Resource Kit).

  • In the file appveyor.yml the PowerShell Gallery API key was added
    for the account 'dscresourcekit', which can only be decrypted using
    the PowerShell AppVeyor account.
