I’m sure by now most of you have discovered dbatools, a wonderful library of PowerShell functions that make life as a DBA so much better. It’s a fantastic community full of people willing to help with minimal flaming and the library itself is frequently updated.
Initially I wanted to jump on the contribution train but IRL I have jobs to consider so instaed I took more of a end user role, working on familiarizing myself with PowerShell in order to tap into the power of dbatools. After writing some DBA specific utilities I started looking at the bigger picture of what I could do across the infrastructure with PowerShell.
