In this talk, we will cover some “gut checks” to know when it might be time to move your code into a function, how to build a scalable, maintainable functional library using dot sourcing, and how to “scaffold” functions using repeatable patterns to support rapid development.

Learn how to create a better structure for your PowerShell modules and how to automate the process including adding support for git and GitHub.

Having the ability to run your code on multiple machines at once is one of the useful capabilities of PowerShell. Gone are the days of click, click, next, repeat x 10 servers. Enabling PowerShell remoting is the easy part, but how do you secure your environment to make your security friends happy?

This session will demonstrate the capabilities of “Universal Automation” the new tool from Ironman Software designed from the ground up for orchestrating PowerShell scripts.

Windows Task Scheduler too hard to manage? Jenkins too complex? Well Universal Automation is likely the perfect fit for you!

Configuration management is a key DevOps principle. PowerShell and PowerShell DSC is an easy way to make use of config management in our environments. However, there’s one area that’s been missing that ability: VMware. PowerCLI has introduced the key to close that gap, and… it’s open-sourced!

So you think software developers get to have all the fun with automated CI/CD pipelines? Think again! With a properly-built Azure DevOps pipeline, Terraform and infrastructure as code, you can take advantage of all the automated testing and deployment goodies you can expect from a pipeline.

Start implementing “Desired State Configurations” for more than just Virtual Machines. You’ll learn a framework using Azure Monitor, Logic Apps, and (PowerShell) Functions to manage all Azure Resources… for free!

This is about showing folks how quickly they can get up to speed with GitHub actions to run their existing Terraform configurations for Azure. There are not many examples or leveraging GitHub Actions available, but everyone should understand how easy the basics of the platform is to use.

Have you ever written a PowerShell script? A function? An entire module? Why not share it with others! In this talk, I’ll discuss what you need to prepare and to upload your first package to the PowerShell Gallery. I’ll also take a look at automated testing and publishing using Azure DevOps.
