Summary

In this chapter, we touched on the basics of PowerShell, covering the main added advantages of the PowerShell 5.0 preview and basic programming constructs, and how they are implemented in PowerShell. We also discussed PowerCLI, what's new in Version 6.0, and how to run PowerCLI scripts from Command Prompt or as a scheduled task. Next, we discussed version control and how to use GitHub to fully utilize the concepts. At the end of this chapter, we saw how to use Pester to test PowerShell scripts and how to connect to vCenter and vCloud Director environments.

In the next chapter, we are going to cover advanced functions and parameters in PowerShell. We will also cover how to write your own help files and error handling in PowerShell.
