VMware PowerCLI

Open Source PowerCLI in the same way that PowerShell has been open sourced, i think the benefits are clear from what we have seen with PowerShell. Would be great to see the source code in a github repo where the community can contribute.

I have been using the community-based PowervRA module lately to import and export vRA content, and the scriptability for this is much better than the current cloud client. It would be awesome to see VMware officially support or develop the PowervR...

Would be great to be able to get PowerCLI Core on the vRO appliance and to be able to paste PowerCLI code straight into a workflow!

I want Onyx support for the HTML5 vSphere Client and the new REST APIs
