PSBoundParameters: The Variable Flight Recorder Your Scripts Deserve!
Every PowerShell function has a little secret. When you call it with parameters, it quietly writes them down on a notepad before running the code.

Unleash C# in PowerShell for Astonishing Script Power
PowerShell is built on top of the CLR (Common Language Runtime) of .NET, which means the two are already deeply connected.

You just package your application, define the running environment, and it just runs, anywhere! But when it comes to running containers in Azure, the abundance of options can be overwhelming. Should you go serverless? Use AKS? Or […]
