Last VMworld Europe I was impressed by the product.
After the presentation several attendees asked about a PowerShell interface to the product.
Can someone from the Orchestrator people perhaps give us an update on this ?

I don't suppose Carter might know, too? I'll ping my contacts in the UK. Cheers!
Hi,
I am sorry that we are unable to comment on this in a public forum nor without an NDA at the moment. Feel free to PM me if you wouldlike to have more discussion around it.
Thanks,
Sia
Sia's the only one who could get really specific about that.
Are you talking about
- Accessing Powershell from vCO.
or
- Accessing vCO from Powershell.
I'm in fact interested in both.
PS from vCO:
For example using PowerCLI functions in the custom vCO actions, instead of the provided Java functions.
Since we use PowerCLI for our vSphere automation it avoids us learning and using a 2nd language.
And we could reuse part of our existing PowerCLI scripts.
vCO from PS:
Creating, starting and monitoring Tasks from a PS script.
Our vSphere automation is not done from the vSphere client but from a centralised tool (SCOM in our case).
Being able to call Task management from this PS-based environment would avoid "console sprawl" for our admins and operators.
