about the technologyThe PowerShell scripting language and administrative shell was initially created for Windows, providing a high-quality command-line interface and awesome automation features. As part of Microsoft's ongoing strategy to support non-Windows platforms with its Azure cloud service and .NET Core framework, PowerShell now runs on Linux and macOS. Like Bash, PowerShell can execute and script nearly any aspect of Linux, so you can easily manage repetitive daily tasks, servers, Cloud resources, Continuous Integration pipelines, and more. Because PowerShell is a full-featured programming language, however, it provides capability well beyond traditional shell scripting languages, such as the ability to treat OS components as objects.
