# PowerShell

Skill · Cloud Computing and DevOps

Canonical page: https://career.thegoodapps.co/skills/powershell

PowerShell is a task automation and configuration management framework from Microsoft, consisting of a command-line shell and scripting language built on .NET. It's used by system administrators and developers to automate administrative tasks, manage Windows (and, via PowerShell Core, Linux/macOS) systems, and interact with APIs and cloud services like Azure. Its object-based pipeline distinguishes it from traditional text-based shells like Bash.
