General Notes

There was a claim that PowerShell is only used within the Microsoft ecosystem. This is not true:

• PowerShell can be installed on some Linux Distros
• PowerShell for Ubuntu 18, 20, and 22.

WSL now uses a full Linux Kernel (announced 2019) using a managed virtual machine.

Linux is the most popular IaaS deployment in Azure.

• Over 50% VM cores are linux-based.
• Over 60% Azure Marketplace images are linux-based.
• Over 47k customers using Azure open-source databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, CosmosDB).

Learn Bash for cloud?

• Bash is useful at the lowest level of abstraction.
• Bash is also useful at the VM level.
• Bash is helpful at the AKS/Container-level of cloud.
• Bash can be used at the ACA-level of cloud.
