VMware PowerCLI

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...

In Pester one can mock an object, and that also works for the PowerCLI .Net objects.But the New-MockObject cmdlet creates an empty object, and since most properties in PowerCLI .Net objects are read-only, that doesn't offer the possibility to mock...

Add powershell cmdlets to orchestrate all vSphere Replication operations: test, failover, creation, etc for people who want to automate DR use cases without having to invest in SRM.
