What is Cloud and Why (wip)
(work in progress)
Consider some global shifts happened in IT during last decades:
- Service-Oriented Model
- Virtualization
- Automation
- Faster Networks
All of that allows Clouds exist
Consider also
- Fuzzy Organization Boundaries – Remote Workers
- More Complicated Software
- High salary for IT professional
- Business must change faster
All of that lead to Clouds concept

DevOps is an idea to manage infrastructure configuration via code with well-known and proved developers practices – ADLC, version control etc.
DSC is only one of many tools that allows SharePoint to be provisioned and managed via declarative CaC – Configuration as Code. You can think of provisioning SharePoint farm with DSC an automation too.
Powershell is a scripting language that can be used for Automation (imperative way). DSC uses PowerShell syntax, but it is more than PowerShell.

SPO vs SharePoint on-prem
Microsoft “cloud first” initiative led us to the situation where SharePoint on-prem (SharePoint 2019) is just a branch (sub-project) of SharePoint Online project.
