What you'll learn

PowerShell is a ubiquitous scripting and development language that can be applied across a wide swath of use-cases; DevOps is a great example. Through support for many software tools like configuration management, infrastructure provisioning and all of the clouds, PowerShell has become a staple for many system administrators, cloud and IT professionals and DevOps engineers.

In this course, PowerShell 5.1 DevOps Playbook, you will learn how to apply your PowerShell skills across a wide range of use cases in the DevOps arena.

You will get introduced to running PowerShell scripts via Ansible, a configuration management tool, automating test infrastructure build-outs with Azure ARM templates and Azure DevTest labs. You'll also see how you can build a fully-automated build and release pipeline using the AppVeyor build tool and some PowerShell kung fu. We'll wrap up the course to demonstrate how to build beautiful but useful monitoring dashboards purely in PowerShell.

When you are finished with this course, you will have the skills and knowledge to apply PowerShell across many automation and DevOps use cases.
