Remoting and Remote Management

Windows remoting came to PowerShell with the release of version 2.0. Windows remoting is a powerful feature that allows administrators to move away from RPC-based remote access.

PowerShell 6 includes plans to allow the use of SSH as a transport for remoting. A demonstration of this is available on GitHub:
