I'm please to share that out project is not part of the VMware's open source repositories in GitHub. You could find the latest code in GitHub and our latest release in PowerShell Gallaery as "VMware.CloudFoundation.PowerManagement" and in GitHubUsing this PowerShell module you can shut down the management domain or a VI workload domain in an automated way by running a Windows PowerShell script.

The scripts follow the order for manual shutdown and startup of VMware Cloud Foundation.
