Connecting the Dots with PowerShell
summary
PowerShell scripts extract AD, vCenter and YAML service definitions and push nodes and relationships into a Neo4j graph to form a lightweight CMDB; code uses the PSNeo4j module, Docker or Chocolatey to run neo4j, Cypher queries for traversal, and a tiny “dots” module that reads YAML and populates nodes and relationships. Demo hits a Docker/env hiccup then runs; limitations noted: Neo4j Community Edition has no read‑only users or clustering and case sensitivity bites, but the pipeline and alerting/PoshBot integrations work.
