Joey Aiello and Yosef Durr, Program Managers at Microsoft: Boxstarter and Chocolatey are collaborating on a Github project (aka.ms/devsetup) to enable automating client machine setup for a variety of scenarios: IT administration, DevOps, Web development, App development, Education, Machine Learning, etc. We believe everyone should be using repeatable, fast, setup scripts rather than a piecemeal approach. In this session we’ll cover what the scripts on Github offer today, goals for the coming year, and how you can participate.

11. PowerShell Core
Motivation for PowerShell Core
Windows PowerShell
Windows system mgmt.
• Managed low-level infrastructure (e.g.
Storage, Networking, etc.)
• PowerShell managed disparate APIs on
Windows
Data
• XML
• JSON
• CSV
.NET
APIs
Native
APIs
• Win32
• WMI/CIM
Cloud resource mgmt.
• Heterogeneous world of REST APIs
(e.g. Azure/ARM, other clouds, 3rd
party SaaS services)
• Lighter weight runtime optimized for
containers/ephemeral runtimes
• Cloud cadence requires agility in
PowerShell
Other clouds
SaaS
Azure

12. PowerShell in Open Source
● Why PowerShell went Open Source
○ Shared ecosystem of improvements
○ Agility
● How PowerShell operates today
○ Community driven
○ 50% of PRs from outside Microsoft
● https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell

13. OpenSSH
● OpenSSH
○ Server/client for remote management
○ Public/private key encryption
○ Secure file transfers
○ https://github.com/PowerShell/Win32-
OpenSSH
● Why we shipped OpenSSH in Windows
○ Open, interoperable standard
○ Goodwill
● “Doing it right”
○ Working towards upstream
● Why we put other tools in Windows
(cURL, Tar)
○ Interop with tools like Docker
○ “Not invented here”

14. Windows Subsystem for Linux
● Run Linux binaries on Windows without a VM
● Interop between Linux binaries and Windows executables​
● Use Windows tools to build and debug for Linux
aka.ms/learnwsl

15. Check-in on our VM

16. Bootstrapping in 1 click
● How to personalize, contribute back
Fork + Branch Edit Script + Commit Test locally in a VM
