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.

PowerCLI Based Flings

What is PowerCLI?

VMware PowerCLI is a powerful, easy-to-use scripting interface to manage the vSphere platform. Administrators can leverage more than 360 cmdlets to simplify everyday tasks.
