About:
PowerShell is a cross-platform automation and configuration tool/framework with a command-line shell and scripting language. It includes a rich set of built-in commands for system administration and integrates with many APIs and data formats. It enables users to automate tasks and manage systems efficiently across Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Key Features:
  • Cross-platform support (Windows, macOS, Linux)
  • Object-oriented pipeline that passes structured data
  • Extensible via modules and the PowerShell Gallery
  • Built-in support for JSON, XML, and REST APIs
  • Remote management with SSH and PowerShell Remoting
Use Cases:
  • Automating system administration and DevOps workflows
  • Cloud resource management and infrastructure as code
  • Parsing and transforming data from files and APIs
Alternatives:
  • bash – Unix shell focused on text streams; less object-oriented than PowerShell
  • zsh – Interactive shell with advanced completion; primarily for Unix-like systems
  • Python – General-purpose scripting language; broader scope but heavier than a shell
