  • Build PowerShell functions to automate common and complex tasks
  • Create smart automations that are adaptable to new challenges

  • Store and secure your automations
  • Execute automations with Azure Automation, Jenkins, Task Scheduler, and Cron
  • Share your automations with your team and non-technical colleagues
  • Store and retrieve data, credentials, and variables
  • Use source control solutions to maintain and test code changes

The book goes beyond the basics to show you how to handle the unforeseen complexities that can keep automations from becoming reusable and resilient. From the console to the cloud, you'll learn how to manage your code, avoid common pitfalls, and create sharable automations that are adaptable to different use cases.
