Alan Renouf is back with us again, and this time he’s bringing a friend along from VMware to talk with us about how vCenter Orchestrator uses PowerShell. Have a look at the vCenter Orchestrator blog to see what they are up to, and especially check out the post titled vCO PowerShell plug-in.
Here’s a screenshot example:
We’ll be covering this TONIGHT at 9:30pm EST at our usual live stream: live.powerscripting.net!
If you would like to win a copy of the excellent new PowerShell & PowerCLI book by Luc Dekens, Alan Renouf, Jonathan Medd, Glenn Sizemore, and Arnim van Lieshout, titled VMware vSphere PowerCLI Reference: Automating vSphere Administration, then all you have to do is leave a comment or follow @powerscripting and retweet this story’s link! We will give away one (physical) copy tonight during the podcast. You don’t need to be present at the incredibly fun and informative live stream that we do every Thursday at 9:30pm EST on Ustream to win (but we’d love to see you!). Obviously we have to be able to contact you via email or twitter to obtain your shipping address, so follow us on twitter so we can DM you, or leave your email address when you comment on this blog post.
Good luck!
P.S. If you don’t win, keep listening, we have a few ebook copies to give away as well.
One of our favorite topics here at the PowerScripting Podcast is managing VMware products with PowerShell. This week, we’re tapping a new resource on the topic who has a very different background than Hal and Jon (HE LIKES LINUX) which should make for some interesting conversation. We hope you can make the show this Thursday July 16th @ 9pm EDT, broadcast live on Ustream, or available for download in all the usual ways just a few days later.
