Using Desired State Configuration as a deployment strategy

Hi,

I'm evaluating using Powershell 4 and DSC as a way to prepare machines for taking on a role in our system.

I would like to use a single model for both ensuring the machine is "ready" and for deploying the code packages.

I can see that DSC will fulfill the first portion, using the configuration service for instance (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn249913.aspx) 

However, I would like to garner opinions on whether it is a suitable solution for deploying (whether by pull or by push) code.

Thanks

Neil
