Are you wondering what Scott Herold has been working on the past few months? He’s in the process of branching PowerGUI’s code and developing a new freeware virtualization specific PowerShell management product called the Virtualization EcoShell. You can read about the details at the website http://www.thevesi.org.What is The Virtualization EcoShell Initiative?
The Virtualization EcoShell Initiative (VESI™) is a Vizioncore sponsored community initiative being driven by Virtualization expert and author Scott Herold. The goal of The VESI is to enhance the virtualization administrative experience by providing a consolidated graphical toolkit for virtualization management that is easily extensible by the community called the Virtualization EcoShell.
What is the Virtualization EcoShell?
The Virtualization EcoShell is a freeware "Power Toolkit" for virtualization administrators powered by Quest Software’s award winning PowerGUI. The Virtualization EcoShell provides limitless extensibility through a customizable graphical interface that includes an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for managing, creating, and debugging PowerShell scripts that extend the capabilities of daily virtualization management.
When is the Virtualization EcoShell scheduled to be released?
The current schedule is to provide a public beta of the Virtualization EcoShell at the end of March 2009. Individuals that are interested in leveraging the core technology today may download and use PowerGUI with the VMware Infrastructure Management PowerPack. A good primer to get started can be found at VMGuru.com.
