Workshop - Automating for DevOps
summary
Claims a concrete pattern and shows code that implements it: separate intent (hash tables) from execution, PowerShell v3 splatting and helper modules, idempotent assert/get/set functions. Refactors big scripts into four functions (windows feature, VM switch, VHD, VM), uses matching hash keys to parameter names, and checks state before changing it. Demonstration builds a DC plus two web servers that serve content and the authors report end-to-end runs about 11 minutes on a fast laptop and 7 minutes for DC setup. Companion materials at the provided link contain the scripts.
