The value of PowerShell

PowerShell can deliver great value in your quest to become a high-level DevOps wizard, whether it is with great modules such as Pester, PSScriptAnalyzer, PSDepend, and PSDeploy, or simply the awesome language features such as the strong, object-oriented shell and the flexible type system.

Built-in features such as Just Enough Administration and Desired State Configuration enable a DevOps culture. Best of all, they are free, giving freedom of choice. Use any tool to deploy DSC configurations in your CI/CD pipeline, create a build script entirely in PowerShell, and evaluate your Pester test results—the possibilities are endless.

das Neves

David das Neves lives with his wife and a small Norwich Terrier close to Dachau, Germany. He was born and grew up in Germany, but his name is Portuguese and means "from the snows.". He is a typical IT guy and started his career as a software engineer. Afterward, he moved into consultancy and customer-facing roles at companies like Microsoft and Google, with the latest stop being Media Markt Saturn. There he works as a Principal Engineer focusing on the Cloud topics, directly reporting to the VP level. Besides his work, he is strongly connected to the community, writes articles, frequently posts on LinkedIn, organizes several User Groups and events in EMEA, and speaks at international conferences. Acknowledgement: I want to thank my wife, who is tolerating my huge time investments towards my work and this book. You are allowing me to do so.
