PowerShell is a task automation and configuration management framework from Microsoft, consisting of a command-line shell and the associated scripting language. Designed primarily for system administrators, it also serves as a powerful tool for application developers when managing environment settings, automating repetitive tasks, and executing complex workflows. PowerShell facilitates access to COM and WMI, enabling administrators to perform administrative tasks on both local and remote Windows systems. It is built on the .NET framework, allowing for objects rather than text streams to be passed between commands, thus streamlining the scripting process and enabling more complex, high-level operations. With its support for seamless integration into DevOps pipelines, cross-platform capabilities with PowerShell Core, and extensible modules, PowerShell offers a flexible and efficient approach to system management and automation tailored for developers seeking to enhance productivity and automation in their applications.
