Discover how to unleash PowerShell's full potential across diverse environments—Linux, macOS, Raspberry Pi, ARM devices, containers, and cloud platforms like Azure Cloud Shell. We'll delve into the operating systems and distributions that PowerShell supports, discover unique cross-platform behaviors, and explore non-traditional computing environments. This talk is perfect for PowerShell professionals eager to broaden their scripting horizons.

We'll present rapid-fire demos:
- Exploring Azure Cloud Shell for cloud management.
- Running PowerShell inside Docker containers.
- Comparing PowerShell behaviors on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
- Showcasing PowerShell on Raspberry Pi, which is helpful for IoT projects and home automation.

We'll also discuss PowerShell on ARM-based Windows devices, highlighting what makes these platforms unique compared to traditional x86-64 Windows.

Throughout the talk, we'll share tips and tricks and provide plenty of "leave-behind" scripts—including a comprehensive, cross-platform, backward-compatible system inventory script—to help you apply your new knowledge immediately. You'll gain practical insights and a deeper appreciation of PowerShell's cross-platform capabilities.

Finally, we'll cover some practical tips to help you write better cross-platform and backward-compatible code. You'll leave the session with an understanding of how to set up your VSCode environment to identify PowerShell code that won't work on Linux or macOS or isn't backward compatible with previous versions of PowerShell.

Designed for intermediate PowerShell users, this session will inspire you to harness PowerShell's full potential, whether managing cloud infrastructure, automating home projects, experimenting with diverse hardware, or creating cross-platform or backward-compatible tools. Don't miss this opportunity to elevate your scripting skills and expand your capabilities!
