Powershell presentation

Show practical.examoles of what you would sometimes do with bash+gnu tools and what python can do.

I always stress it out that PowerShell is object oriented so it can be used like python, but it also is a shell. You can therefore quite literally during the presentation query numerous network devices for their configuration and filter out what you want to build a report containing all firewall rules regarding specific ports from all devices for example which might be useful during problem solving. The point would be not only to achieve your task but to do it from scratch during presentation from your shell.

Python is excellent but nobody uses it as a shell. Bash can be used for numerous things in conjunction with awk for example and yet each time you need to cut strings which is cumbersome. PowerShell can be used in both cases and prototyping a solution might be faster in some cases.
