14. Overview of PowerShell Core

15. Edit Scenario overview • Your IT environment is comprised of heterogenous Operating Systems (OS’s). • You need to manage (efficiently and easily), all of the different OS’s in your environment using a common platform.

16. Edit Problem: Different Operating Systems • No common platform for management • IT staff has to be specialized in each OS • Too many different scripting/coding options, need single management tool • No easy way to use the same coding

17. Edit Value proposition Why should I use/learn PowerShell? Because PowerShell is a single point, ubiquitous platform that: • works with many products/vendors: SAN’s, Citrix, cisco, VMware, Windows, Exchange, Oracle, SQL, System Center, and O365 (Delve, Planner, StaffHub, Dynamics, Security and Compliance, Teams, etc.) • is a single administrative/development environment for heterogenous environments

18. Edit PowerShell Core overview • Task-based command-line shell and scripting language, built on the .NET framework • Designed especially for system administration • Helps IT professionals and power users control and automate the administration of several operating systems and applications that run on those operating systems • Visual Studio free PowerShell plug-in available

19. Edit Scripting language • Automation • Disaster Recovery • High Availability • Deployment • Auditing • Health Check • Monitoring • Reporting • GUI over PowerShell • And more…

20. Edit Semantics For clarification in this discussion: • Windows PowerShell will be referred to as ‘Windows PowerShell’ • PowerShell Core will be referred to as ‘PowerShell’

21. Edit Ubiquity – Windows, mac, and Linux • Common interface and cmdlets • Runs natively on: Windows, Linux, and macOS X • Open source on GitHub ♡ Existing PS Users Mgmt Products App Developers Linux Users Single stack to manage anything from anywhere Manage Linux and Windows systems from any computer Framework transforms a small amount of code into rich automation and configuration Another tool in your toolbox. Optimized for structured data, REST APIs, and object models

22. Edit Ubiquity - PowerShell everywhere • PowerShell and DSC play well with other configuration management solutions like Chef and Puppet • Windows PowerShell down level to Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7 • Open-source, cross-platform PowerShell Core 6.0 • Available on Windows, Nano, Mac, and Linux • Based on the .NET Core • PowerShell plugin for Visual Studio • Nearly at parity with the ISE • Integrated terminal • Debugging

23. Edit .NET framework • Software framework provides language interoperability • Available through download • This framework install requires a reboot

24. Edit .NET core • PowerShell Core requires .NET Core • Available through download • This framework install requires a reboot

25. Edit File extensions • PS1 – Windows PowerShell shell script • PSD1 – Windows PowerShell data file (for Version 2+) • PSM1 – Windows PowerShell module file (for Version 2+) • PS1XML – Windows PowerShell format and type definitions • CLIXML – Windows PowerShell serialized data • PSC1 – Windows PowerShell console file • PSSC – Windows PowerShell Session Configuration file

26. History of PowerShell

27. Edit Monad • August 2002: Monad Manifesto (Microsoft Shell) was published • April 25, 2006: MS renamed Monad to Windows PowerShell

28. Edit Open-source • Windows PowerShell was made open-source and cross-platform, August 18, 2016 • PowerShell Core 6.0 GA January, 2018 • PowerShell Core 6.1 GA September, 2018 • PowerShell Core 6.2 GA March, 2019 • Support for Windows, macOS, CentOS, and Ubuntu • GitHub was leveraged for distribution • Running on .NET Core

29. Versions

30. Operating Systems

31. Edit PowerShell Core: Windows supported versions Complete list of OS’s: PowerShell Core Support Lifecycle page: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/powershell-core-support?view=powershell-6 Windows update installable: Windows Server 2008 R2 Windows 7 Windows Server 2012 Windows 8 Windows Server 2012 R2 Windows 8.1 Windows Server 2016 Windows 10

32. Edit PowerShell Core: other OS supported versions Complete list of OS’s: PowerShell Core Support Lifecycle page: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/powershell-core-support?view=powershell-6 Other OS’s: Ubuntu 14.04, 16.04 Debian 8.7+ and 9 CentOS7 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 OpenSUSE 42.3 Fedora 27 MacOS 10.12+

33. Edit PowerShell Core: community/experimental • PowerShell is agile • OS’s are available via ‘Community’ or ‘Experimental’ options for support Ubuntu 18.04 (Core 6.1) Raspbian AppImage Arch Kali

34. Edit PowerShell Core: out of support OS’s The lifecycle page will also post ‘out of support’ OS’s

35. Edit PS Core on GitHub

36. Heterogeneous environment

37. Edit What is a heterogeneous environment Using hardware and system software from different vendors Organizations often use computers, operating systems, and databases from a variety of vendors Require the participation of highly skilled professionals who are able to fluently manage multiple operating systems and hardware Can leverage on premises or cloud, including multi-cloud mixtures

38. Edit Simplify management of environment Leverage unified homogenous protocols Use united toolsets Minimize training and cross usage of multiple editors and tools

39. Comparison

40. Edit PowerShell differences

41. Edit PowerShell Core limitations Some modules are incompatible with .NET Core A few “built-in” cmdlets are missing from PowerShell Core WMI v1 cmdlets, PerfCounter, EventLog, LocalAccounts On non-Windows platforms, these modules are missing: CimCmdlets Microsoft.WSMan.Management PSDiagnostics Removed snap-ins and workflow from PS Core (May be added in later)

42. Edit WMI v1 cmdlets Recommend to use: Get-CimAssociatedInstance Get-CimClass Get-CimInstance Get-CimSession Invoke-CimMethod New-CimInstance New-CimSession New-CimSessionOption Register-CimIndicationEvent Remove-CimInstance Remove-CimSession Set-CimInstance Removed: Get-WmiObject Invoke-WmiMethod Register-WmiEvent Set-WmiInstance

43. Edit *-Counter cmdlets Due to the use of unsupported APIs, the *-Counter has been removed from PowerShell Core until a better solution is found. Note: * is reference to: Get, Set, New, Remove, etc. verbs for cmdlets

44. Edit Module coverage for Windows WindowsCompatibility module Downloadable: https://github.com/PowerShell/WindowsCompatibility Module that allows Windows PowerShell Modules to be used from PS Core Transparent implicit remoting to local Windows PowerShell PowerShell Core 6.1 on Windows 10 version 1809 and Windows Server 2019 Compatibility with 1900+ existing cmdlets

45. Overview of Visual Studio Code settings

46. Edit Scenario Overview • What coding application to use? • Is there a free version that is compatible with all OS’s? • Visual Studio Code is the answer

47. Edit Visual Studio Code (VS Code) • Development Tool (many languages) • Graphical Editor • Execution and Debugging • Source Control Integration

48. Edit VS Code features from ISE • Intellisense • Auto save and crash recovery • Syntax highlighting (themes) • Collapsible code • Brace matching • Code snippets (Start typing then press Tab Tab)

49. Edit Additional features • Browse work as projects in a workspace folder • Powerful search and replace • View function definitions and references inline • Code lens • Source control integration (Git) • Improved debugging experience • Community extensions • Testing integration

50. Edit VS Code vs. Windows Integrated Scripting Environment (ISE) This… not this…unless
