Let's learn more about Intune MDM and Apple's DDM for Software Updates and Passcode Policies. This is Declarative Device Management (DDM).
This helps the client device to be more Autonomous, Proactive, and Asynchronous. The focus of future protocol features will be declarative device management

DDM and Intune MDM?
🔥More controlled way of deploying Software Updates using Apple’s declarative device management (DDM) configuration policies (settings catalog)
🔥Declarative PASSCODE settings are available at Declarative Device Management (DDM)
🔥iOS/iPadOS 17.0 and later - macOS 14.0 and later

Software Updates using Apple’s DDM?
DDM (declarative device management) allows you to install a specific update by an enforced deadline.
Asynchronous - Avoid common performance and scalability issues typically associated with serializing commands and polling devices over MDM
Can coexist with MDM software updates
Takes precedence over MDM
Available for macOS, iOS, iPadOS
==
More Info on Apple's DDM
Please review the sessions from WWDC21 and WWDC22 for an in-depth look at what declarative device management is and how to adopt it in your products.

What is Apple DDM?
The device is autonomous, as it reacts to its own state changes and then applies management logic to itself, without prompting from the server.
The device is proactive, with the status channel asynchronously reporting to the server when important state changes occur, avoiding the need for servers to poll devices.
There are two key elements to the declarative device management data model: declarations and status.
Declarations encompass activations and predicates, configurations, assets, and management types.
And status covers status items and status reporting.
Let's take a moment to talk about why this matters, what it means for you, and the organizations that use your products.
==
The backbone of all of these management features is the MDM protocol itself.
The protocol is a well-established, heavily used solution provided directly within iOS, macOS, and tvOS and has become a standard across mobile device management.
While we add features to it each year, we also continually evaluate the protocol against our device management goals and evolve it to meet the dynamic needs of MDM solution developers, admins, and users.
Today, our MDM protocol can be described as an imperative and reactive protocol.
Each management workflow takes time and multiple round trips between the device and server.
Then any performance challenge is compounded when you manage a large number of devices across an organization.
This is an example of where we want to ensure our protocol is as performant and scalable as possible.
