Building PowerShell Applications that Operate on a Planetary Scale
summary
Claims a working platform to manage heterogeneous infrastructure at scale and shows the actual stack: Pembroke PS with a database schema, PHP/Apache UI, REST endpoints and a Queue Manager plus distributed Workflow Manager processes. Demonstrates running persistent sessions across ~40 vCenters with dozens of concurrent PowerShell processes, addresses memory and logging limits by restarting endpoints, and notes gaps: auth/SSL, docs, PowerShell 6 compatibility and noisy logging that still need engineering.
