PowerShell-Docs VS steampipe

--% is a half-baked solution and has various inherent issues. It should not be relied upon if alternative solutions exist.

They seem to have an internal system that is triggered by commits on the main branch on those repositories that contain docs. For example, if you look at https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/PowerShell-Docs, and click on the commit checks for the latest main commit (green checkmark next to the commit), there is one check "OpenPublishing.Build" that leads to the report of where the files were uploaded: https://opbuilduserstoragepublic.blob.core.windows.net/report/2022%5C5%5C5%5C6ff7e8c3-dfc6-3ebd-da5a-d5e2ff43de8f%5CPullRequest%5C202205052157488348-8793%5Cworkflow_report.html?sv=2021-04-10&se=2022-06-05T21%3A59%3A48Z&sr=b&sp=r&sig=VsulIs3Vw8QappOaWIin6%2FqLJN5M99%2FATZiOWFF3k0U%3D

Then I found this. But there is no doc in here related to my issue.

Yes on the main page -- Click on the Green Code Button, then click Download Zip. It will work better if you have a copy of the GitHub desktop client, but its not technically necessary.

Sorry to break it to you, but Preheat is not an approved Powershell verb :(

This issue explains the reason. Get-Service was using DCOM, which has been removed.

Steampipe is a tool for querying cloud APIs and other data sources using SQL in a zero-ETL manner.

Readers may also enjoy Steampipe [1], an open source CLI to live query Google Sheets [2] and 140+ other services with SQL (e.g. AWS, GitHub, etc). It uses Postgres Foreign Data Wrappers under the hood and supports joins etc across the services. (Disclaimer - I'm a lead on the project.)

be mindful of its AGPLv3 https://github.com/turbot/steampipe/blob/v0.21.8/LICENSE (AFAIK v0.4.3 is the last MIT release https://github.com/turbot/steampipe/blob/v0.4.3/LICENSE ) and the actual providers are Apache 2 <https://github.com/turbot/steampipe-plugin-aws/blob/v0.131.0...> (but I don't know if provider drift makes them compatible with 0.4 or not)

iasql seems to be AWS only, but good for them for taking this on:

In a prior post I showed how to install Steampipe in AWS CloudShell to instantly query over 460+ resource types from your AWS APIs using SQL, and another post on how to use the Steampipe AWS Compliance mod to assess over 25+ security benchmarks across your AWS accounts.

Readers may find Steampipe's [1] AWS Thrifty Mod [2] useful. It will automatically scan multiple accounts and regions for 50 cost saving opportunities - many of which are looking for over-provisioned or unused resources. For example, it's crazy how much you can save by doing things like just converting your EBS volumes to the newer gp3 type. Combine with Flowpipe [3] to automate checks and actions. It's all open source and extensible.

Steampipe [1] is an open source project [2] that includes an embedded Postgres to instantly query cloud, code & more with SQL. This release expands our plugin ecosystem [3] to be a full Zero-ETL platform. Steampipe plugins can now run natively in your own Postgres as Foreign Data Wrappers [4], as SQLite extensions [5] or as simple data export tools [6]. Please give it a try, we'd love your feedback and contributions!
