Perfect for you if...

  • You manage Linux systems across multiple environments and want a faster way to handle repetitive configuration and administration tasks.
  • You're familiar with Linux but want to leverage PowerShell's object-oriented scripting for more sophisticated automation and remote management.
  • You need to manage infrastructure spanning Windows, Linux, and cloud environments, and want one tool that works across all three.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You're looking for a theoretical introduction to PowerShell concepts rather than hands-on, copy-paste ready examples.
  • You're a complete beginner to command line tools and prefer visual interfaces or graphical administration tools.
  • You work exclusively on a single platform and have no interest in cross-platform automation capabilities.

About this book

PowerShell Core for Linux Administrators Cookbook provides over 150 recipes for using Microsoft's open source automation framework and command line shell across Windows, Linux, and macOS. PowerShell Core is an open source, cross-platform tool built on .NET Core, designed to be versatile and easy to learn. It enables automation on systems ranging from the Raspberry Pi to the cloud. This cookbook uses real-world examples to teach how PowerShell administers environments effectively, covering recipes for automating complex, repetitive, and time-consuming tasks. Later chapters focus on developing scripts for systems and enterprise management. Topics covered include leveraging the object model based on .NET Core, administering computers locally and remotely using PowerShell over OpenSSH, advanced PowerShell functions, cloud administration, best practices for scripts and functions, and cross-platform capabilities for managing scheduled jobs, Docker containers, and SQL databases.
