Why Choose PowerShell ? :

1. Command-line Shell : PowerShell is a modern command shell that includes the best features of other popular shells. Unlike most shells that only accept and return text, PowerShell accepts and returns .NET objects. The shell includes the following features:

Robust command-line history

Tab completion and command prediction (See about_PSReadLine)

Supports command and parameter aliases

Pipeline for chaining commands

In-console help system, similar to Unix man pages

2. Scripting language : As a scripting language, PowerShell is commonly used for automating the management of systems. It is also used to build, test, and deploy solutions, often in CI/CD environments. PowerShell is built on the .NET Common Language Runtime (CLR). All inputs and outputs are .NET objects. No need to parse text output to extract information from output. The PowerShell scripting language includes the following features:

Extensible through functions, classes, scripts, and modules

Extensible formatting system for easy output

Extensible type system for creating dynamic types

Built-in support for common data formats like CSV, JSON, and XML

3. Automation platform : The extensible nature of PowerShell has enabled an ecosystem of PowerShell modules to deploy and manage almost any technology you work with.

4. Configuration management : PowerShell Desired State Configuration (DSC) is a management framework in PowerShell that enables you to manage your enterprise infrastructure with configuration as code. With DSC, you can:

Create declarative configurations and custom scripts for repeatable deployments

Enforce configuration settings and report on configuration drift

Deploy configuration using push or pull models
