Note: I've made a more robust project for this here.
##Synopsis This document is intended to represent the level of excellence a given vendor's specific software has achieved with regard to both API and Powershell modules. If specific reviews of the API and/or module are available, link to them or add in subsections below.
##Matrix Instructions
- Ensure that the order is alphabetical by vendor first and software second.
- Rate the availability and quality of the API, Powershell Module, and DSC Resources on a scale from 0 to 10, where 0 is nonexistant and 10 is best-in-class.
| Vendor | Software | API | PS | DSC |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Amazon | AWS | 10 | 10 | 1 |
| Nimble Storage | Nimble OS | 9 | 0 | 0 |
##Vendor <Explanation of Vendor's general support for API/Powershell/DSC> ###Software Name <Explanation of specific software's quality for API/Powershell/DSC>
##Amazon Amazon maintains one of the best in class RESTful APIs and is quick to iterate and improve their offerings. ###AWS Amazon's Powershell Tools is excellent, extensive, and very well documented.
##Nimble Storage Nimble Storage provides an excellent API for their Nimble OS (v2.3 as of this edit). They target automation and enterprise deployments by providing a RESTful API. Nimble Storage supports and encourages powershell interaction with their API, though they do not (currently) have either an official module nor a DSC resource. ###Nimble OS
- As of Nimble OS 2.3, Nimble OS supports Powershell calls against the software's REST API and includes examples as a zip file as well.
Updated to make template more clear and to include Nimble Storage's Nimble OS based on user input on Reddit.
