Microsoft365DSC VS Office365-REST-Python-Client

Or MS' own DSC solution!

M365 DSC documentation has a list of 'resource list' at https://github.com/microsoft/Microsoft365DSC/wiki/Resources-List but this list does not translate to a few modules we have: Defender for Identity, Power BI, Azure information protection, Defender for cloud apps, defender for O365. Are these M365 components/features supported by M365 DSC, if so under which resources? are there any gotcha's when trying to use DSC to export the config and use it on another tenant?

Microsoft365DSC is an Open-Source initiative hosted on GitHub, lead by Microsoft engineers and maintained by the community. It allows you to write a definition for how your Microsoft 365 tenant should be configured, automate the deployment of that configuration, and ensures the monitoring of the defined configuration, notifying and acting on detected configuration drifts. It also allows you to extract a full-fidelity configuration out of any existing Microsoft 365 tenant. The tool covers all major Microsoft 365 workloads such as Exchange Online, Teams, Power Platforms, SharePoint and Security and Compliance.

If handling CUI (CMMC ML3 or higher), you'll need to demonstrate practice and process maturity, take a look at Microsoft365DSC https://github.com/Microsoft/Microsoft365DSC. Combination of detective controls to implement: generate alerts if the configuration that requires encryption changes/generate logs providing positive verification that the configuration is in place; perform automated audits of the configuration on a regular schedule to validate that the configuration is in place. In both cases, retain the evidence (log files, alerts, DSC exports, etc.) so assessors can see that the configuration has been in place and that oversight is continuous and proactive.

it depends, if you want script microsoft stuff like active directory powershell is the way to go, if you have to manage microsoft cloud stuff like exchange online or azure ad powershell is still probably better but you can also use python with graph api and if you need to write a more complex script python might be easier

I am trying to connect to SharePoint Online using Python using Certificate Authentication using https://github.com/vgrem/Office365-REST-Python-Client

I have tried https://github.com/vgrem/Office365-REST-Python-Client and I have tried Connect-SPOService via PowerShell.

Or not.. I started checking for SharePoint libraries in Python, and this is pretty much the only thing I could find: https://github.com/vgrem/Office365-REST-Python-Client. Which I guess it is fine, if it wasn't because it seems as if 2 of the authentication methods they support are kind of old, and the third one does not suit my company's security requirements (basically, anything that requires me to bypass conditional access won't be approved).

Interesting, would the SDK be an equivalent to, for example, the Office365-REST-Python-Client, except that it is being provided by Microsoft officially?

If Microsoft were to provide an official Python library, I would feel pretty safe and they don't seem to shy away from integration with Python, but I don't know how to narrow it down looking at their different examples. Other options developed by outside sources seem to be stuff like the Office365-REST-Python-Client, Microsoft Graph Core Python Client, etc. Is there any particular recommendation on a stable and easy-to-use library?

I wanted to create service principal as I read on https://github.com/vgrem/Office365-REST-Python-Client/issues/191 but it requires app domain, and I am not using one.

Couple google searches brought me to this GitHub page. https://github.com/vgrem/Office365-REST-Python-Client
