As you know, the Azure CLI already AI-build in with the az find command, and you might have seen a
great feature like AI-powered PowerShell module called Az Predictor Module (Azure PowerShell Predictions), which does what the name says, predict PowerShell commands. Now with az next, the team also brought a similar feature to the Azure CLI. The team's goal with az next is to guide users through their scenarios or sequence of jobs-to-be-done in tool, so that they could remain focused and avoid unnecessary external documentation searches.

Let's say you are admin in many areas, i.e. Azure, SharePoint, SQL, Microsoft 365, you name it. For
each environment, you may need to run some prerequisites, log onto some systems, and run some commands until your PowerShell environment is ready for action.

Getting started and Learn PowerShell on Microsoft Learn!

By: Thomas Maurer submitted:Jun 16 2022
I remember running my first commands and building my first automation using Windows PowerShell back
in 2006. Since then, PowerShell became one of my daily tools to build, deploy, manage IT environments. With the release of PowerShell version 6 and now PowerShell 7, PowerShell became cross-platform. This means you can now use it on even more systems like Linux and macOS. With PowerShell becoming more and more powerful (you see what I did there ;)), more people are asking me how they can get started and learn PowerShell. Luckily we just released 5 new modules on Microsoft Learn for PowerShell.

The 2021 edition of the PowerShell + DevOps Global Summit is here. Sadly, due to the state of the
world, this year's event will be virtual. And sad only in the sense that we can't come together and celebrate the community. This year's virtual even will have the same terrific content. However, there won't be the traditional Iron Scripter event. Instead The Chairman offers this challenge to test your PowerShell skills.
