PowerShell is not new. It has been here since 2006, but mostly used in the Windows environment. There have been different versions released until now, the most recent being PowerShell 5 on Windows. PowerShell Core 6 is now an open source project that is being delivered not just on Windows but also on Linux and macOS. PowerShell Core 6 is what Microsoft are planning to support on a multi-platform environment; and at the time of writing this book, it has just been moved from alpha to beta. Looking into future, managing multi-cloud and hybrid heterogeneous environments, Microsoft sees a strong demand for a universal shell to manage the complex IT shops and drive automation. Because PowerShell provides a unified experience and single pane to interact with multiple vendor products, it will be helpful to manage multi-cloud, hybrid, and heterogeneous environments. So, stay tuned and keep learning PowerShell Core 6. In the next chapter, we will review some of the AWS services that we will touch base in rest of the book.
