Posted By: DavidAiken | Aug 11th, 2006 @ 8:09 AM | 21,910 Views | 7 Comments
In this episode, David shows you how you can build a simple set of Windows PowerShell cmdlts to access the Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3). http://www.amazon.com/s3

The Cmdlets show how to implement parameters; support pipeline operations; support confirm, whatif, debug and verbose switches; provide type and formatting metadata as well as help.

The source code shown in the demo will be available soon.

Awesome!

Could you get a headset microphone though? The sound of you banging away on your keyboard and the whine of the computer fan or something became distracting.

It was a great show.

So great so that I just wanted to try out Amazon.com/S3 service and see what it is about. Wink

But with PowerShell on top of that?  Awesome!


Can't wait for the teaser at the end(i won't mention it for those who haven't watched this episode yet)

By the way, I think the tag should be corrected to "PowerShell" though since "Monad" could arise confusion for other folks who doesn't know the name change Wink

It will be interesting to see the David's source when it finally gets released.

For now, check out my S3Nas PowerShell Provider, C# source included.
