VMware Flings featuring PowerCLI - https://labs.vmware.com/flings/?product=PowerCLI
PowerCLI Core - Enable users of Linux, Mac and Docker to now use the same cmdlets which were previously only available on Windows.PowerActions for vSphere Web Client - PowerActions integrates the vSphere Web Client and PowerCLI to provide complex automation solutions from within the standard vSphere management client.Onyx for the Web Client - Onyx for the Web Client is a Fling that translates actions taken in the vSphere Web Client to PowerCLI.Net code.PowerCLI Extensions - PowerCLI Extensions gives PowerCLI users early access to functionality by extending the core PowerCLI cmdlets to include new experimental features and gives PowerCLI users the ability to provide early feedback.
