PowerShell 7 offers a number of compelling reasons to adopt it. One of the best is support for SSH
as a PowerShell remoting protocol. Unfortunately, this is not a topic that typically comes up for Windows-centric IT Pros. I know this is definitely true in my case, and a deficiency I have been working on. On the plus side, Windows 10 ships with the OpenSSH client installed and ready to go. But what about the OpenSSH Server? On Windows platforms, you need to enable and configure this element if you want to use SSH remoting in PowerShell. Naturally, I'd like to do this with PowerShell and also remotely. First up, I want to show you how to setup the OpenSSH Server component on Windows 10.

Don't sleep on PSReadLine if you use PowerShell as your preferred prompt. Head over there and give them some love and a star and buckle up, friends!

You can use PowerShell to run tasks on periodic timers. For example, let's say that you want to
clean up a folder with old log files on an hourly basis. Instead of using your operating system's task scheduler (ie. systemd on Linux, MacOS, or Windows Task Scheduler), you can use PowerShell to create a Timer.
