PowerShell Tooling
summary
Demonstrations show concrete tools and outcomes: Crescendo wraps native CLI into PowerShell cmdlets via JSON and exports modules that run on PowerShell 7 and downlevel on 5.1, accelerating wrappers; DSCv3 is class‑based with no LCM and open sourced, inviting community issues and faster lifecycle; PSReadLine 2.2 history predictor plus plugin-based completion predictors (AZ, completion, custom) actually autocomplete and list suggestions; SecretManagement + SecretStore register vaults and get/set secrets; presenters cite ~60 releases in recent years and ~5 billion gallery downloads.
