Hi I think a previous email may have used the term ".NET standard" instead of the .NET framework so thought I'd just clarify. .NET Standard is actually a single NUGET package which defines a set of required APIs which the major variants of .NET, including .NET Core, implement. So Powershell Core, which sits on .NET core, will have access to the entire API available in the .NET Standard library that version of .NET core was compiled against. You can read more and see a compatibility table at: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/dotnet/2016/09/26/introducing-net-standard/ Hope that helps, although I know it is very confusing.

Hi, PowerShell on Linux is also there for allowing users to do DSC on Linux, which is Microsoft's configuration management tool in the Chef/Ansible space. Its really good especially when coupled with an Azure automation account, though rough around the edges on Linux. One issue with PowerShell on Linux is that we're on .Net Core, which means modules you use which rely on .Net standard won't work. That is all the standard AD modules for example. If you're using a Mac or Linux you may want to check out the cross-platform Azure tools (az) which are Python based. They are written to give you better support for scripting with Bash etc, and are very similar to the Aws cli tools.

I read something about this a while ago, and wondered why it would be useful on Linux or Mac, where the Microsoft APIs aren't available. Now I know: remote administration of Microsoft infrastructure.

I only found this out today, the instructions for Mac are here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/azure/install-azurermps-maclinux... I am now starting to see the power of working with Asure using this. I'm guessing it will be very useful for setting up test environments on Asure, if that's ever something I need to do. Best, Jen. _______________________________________________ Blind-sysadmins mailing list -- blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org To unsubscribe send an email to blind-sysadmins-leave@lists.hodgsonfamily.org _______________________________________________ Blind-sysadmins mailing list -- blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org To unsubscribe send an email to blind-sysadmins-leave@lists.hodgsonfamily.org _______________________________________________ Blind-sysadmins mailing list -- blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org To unsubscribe send an email to blind-sysadmins-leave@lists.hodgsonfamily.org DISCLAIMER: NOTICE: The information contained in this email and any attachments is confidential and may be privileged.
