I recently discovered that AWS Lambda launched support for container images, and supported every
major language except for PowerShell. If you're interested in publishing AWS Lambda functions, by using a PowerShell container image, add your voice to this GitHub issue report. One of the AWS developers has responded and expressed interest in prioritizing, but we need to show interest / demand for this feature.

I've been using HTML reporting in PowerShell for a while. Initially, I would usually build HTML by
hand, but the time spent trying to figure out what works and what doesn't drive me mad. With the PSWriteHTML module, a lot has changed. With just a few PowerShell lines, I can create feature-rich reports that change how I show data to my Clients. Today I wanted to show you some advanced HTML reporting without actually complicating PowerShell code. In the last few months, I've added many features that create advanced reports without sacrificing readability.

During the course of conversations with my friend and AD admin, Gladys Kravitz, I realized I needed
to build a solid reporting tool around Active Directory. I had a library of scripts and functions I have written over the years, including a few that I've written about here recently. Thus was born ADReportingTools.

I find myself inside the Window Terminal's JSON Settings file each time I update the version of
PowerShell on my system. That includes non-preview and preview versions of PowerShell. Well, as of today, that's changed. Previously I would install an updated version, jump into the JSON Settings file, and modify the Name and TabTitle properties of the corresponding profile. I've long wanted the version number on the Tab and so I was hard coding the values. No longer.

PowerShell is a powerful scripting language and automation tool. You make changes for one thing or
hundreds of things using the same script or function. One amazing feature to add to your functions is the PowerShell -WhatIf parameter. This parameter tells you what the function is going to do before you execute it for real.

One of the biggest advantages to working with BitTitan is leveraging PowerShell scripting for
project management. While MigrationWiz has numerous capabilities built directly into the tool itself, using scripts to help manage users, adjust project settings, and monitor status is an easy way to step outside the UI and automate additional components of your project.
