Welcome to the new /m/Powershell magazine on kbin.social. Feel free to introduce your self, how you got started using Powershell, your primary use, and any neat projects you've worked on.
I've been using Powershell in my software deployment position for the last 5 years to help automate our install and server needs, and have been loving every minute of it.
Love to see a Powershell magazine! I got started using PS at work. I wrote and maintain a couple large-ish scripts. One to automate syncing configurations between servers - lots of API calls, handling results, pushing results to SQL, and alerting for issues. Another to assist with bulk importing data from a client's arbitrary format to our internal format, with a lot of sanity checks, plug and play field conversion functions, logging and metrics, etc. I routinely use it to import a few million records at a time and load them into an API at a fixed rate with a fixed end time.
I really like it as a language. I would say PS and JS are my favorite languages to work in these days.
Yellow! I started using powershell a decade ago in my windows class in college. I've written several modules in powershell. I've written several discord bots in powershell (on azure functions). I've been using powershell to automate everything I can at work. Built a full API platform out of it, even.
Writing a Powershell module is not something I've done yet. I think once I attempted, but with what I was doing the one simple function or script did what I needed. Got any tips or resources?
Thank you!
I'm a sysadmin from Sweden working primarily with MS products and I've been using Powershell for quite a while to manage most aspects of our environment. Clients, servers, users etc.
Hey Laage! Nice to see you here too! Powershell was done right and only improved since the 'ol command prompt. Once you realize everything mostly in Powershell is an object, it makes things easier too. Powershell 7 took it to the next level too. When managing Windows or MS environments, it's really the best tool to do so.
