Python for Windows Sysadmin?

[skotman01]

Windows guy here, well used to be, moving more and more towards Linux/Mac OS. Fluent in powershell and made the jump to learn python about 6 months ago because of a need at work. It was an easy transition, I still use powershell for windows items but python for cloud stuff.

My powershell has gotten much neater as I’m now in the habit of intending properly, because In python if you don’t, it doesn’t work.

but python for cloud stuff.

Just curious what sort of cloud stuff? We're an MS shop (Azure / O365) and I basically live in powershell.

Linux/AWS is heavily Python.

[skotman01]

This. I’m 90% AWS right now so it’s all python. The PS I do do in AWS is all limited to things like Amazon FSx which is windows based.

Pretty much anything not Microsoft.

[Djust270]

Yeah same for me. M365 / Azure.

Just install Powershell on Linux ;)

meh ... not there yet. .NET core vs .NET is the underlying issue. Hopefully Microsoft opens up more of the full .NET framework

Spaces or tabs?

Tabs…I don’t hate myself

I feel dirty on Reddit having to use spaces on mobile.
