Abstract
Microsoft open-sourced PowerShell in 2016, and debuted a cross-platform interaction supporting Linux and MacOS. Since then, thousands have contributed to the PowerShell project, with the community growing exponentially. Linux users now outpace other platforms in downloading PowerShell modules and scripts from the PowerShell Gallery.
With PowerShell 7.1, the community and Microsoft have delivered more features and bug fixes than ever before. In this session, we will work through some of the new features and improvements included in this release.
