If you currently use PowerCLI to automate basic tasks with pre-defined scripts, you’ll already know how powerful automation can be. However, taking the next step and customizing scripts to carry out tasks specifically designed for your needs opens a whole new world of opportunities.
This new eBook from Altaro takes you there.
Written by VMware vExpert Xavier Avrillier, this free eBook presents a use-case approach to learning how to automate tasks in vSphere environments using PowerCLI.
We start by covering the basics of installation, set up, and an overview of PowerCLI terms. From there we move into scripting logic and script building with step-by-step instructions of truly useful custom scripts, including:
- How to retrieve data on vSphere objects
- Display VM performance metrics
- How to build HTML reports and schedule them
- Basics on building functions
- And more!

An esxcli book, vDS, or NSX book would be good for the next.
Perhaps a book on PowerCLI and AWS since they just released it. It would be nice to see what can be done to automate the transition.
