Last week, I mentioned that RM Update 3 CTP1 would be out soon... and now it is! The big new feature here is Desired State Configuration support for deploying to both on-prem environments and Azure environments.

Keep in mind, this is a CTP release, so don't install it on any servers that you care about!
