PowerCLI: APIs made easy “Project Onyx”
For those of you who are living on Mars it is VMworld, No I am not there but I am trying to keep up with all the information coming from VMworld.
One of the coolest things I have seen is “Project Onyx”
Onyx is a cryptocrystalline form of quartz, but apart from that its also a code name for a cool new app the VMware PowerCLI team are working on.
Project Onyx basically allows you to record what you are doing in the virtual infrastructure client and turn it into PowerCLI scripts, so all those things you wanted to script but never knew how can now be achieved.
The PowerCLI team will be giving this new tool to a select few at VMworld to test as it is still in beta, hopefully a wider beta will be released at some point in the future.
For the meantime why don’t you check out the PowerCLI Blog for more information here (Love the paperclip reference)
Make sure you check out the YouTube video of it in action…
And also the VMware recorded interview with Carter and Hal…
