### Description

The Desired State Configuration (DSC) has just been announced to be [deprecated](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/updates?id=485828) and moves towards Azure Machine Configuration. This extension is also included already in the `virtual-machine` module.

Even thought 2028 is still far away, should the extension be in the WAF-aligned examples?

Research direction

Read the linked Azure deprecation announcement, then inspect the virtual-machine module and its WAF-aligned examples to locate the DSC extension references. Determine whether those examples should retain or remove the deprecated extension, and document the decision and resulting example changes.
