• Configuration management framework: It helps you manage the configuration of your systems and applications, ensuring consistency and efficiency across your environment.

Key points to remember:

• Cross-platform: While originally designed for Windows, PowerShell is now available and functional on macOS and Linux as well.

• Task automation: Its primary strength lies in automating repetitive tasks, making it a valuable asset for system administrators, developers, and security professionals.

• Flexibility: It offers a wide range of features and functionalities, making it adaptable to various use cases.
