Managing VMware with PowerShell at Virtualization Congress 2009
One really great idea the organizers of Virtualization Congress 2009 had was to hold open voting for the sessions that would be presented.
Looking through the proposals, one of the early leaders is Automating VMware Virtual Infrastructure with PowerShell. If you're going to attend Virtualization Congress 2009 this is a great way to pick up some tips and techniques that will help you get the most out of your Virtual Infrastructure.
Splunk has a great integration with VMware where it not only uses VMware's PowerShell Cmdlets to capture all the configuration details and metrics of your environments but also allows you to trigger other PowerShell scripts when certain criterias are met. Extremely powerful when you combine this with Splunk's ability to index any kind of data and act on it. This means that you can have searches that look at VMware data + Windows Events + ESX or VM metrics and can do things like reboot, vMotion, etc any VM.
