PowerNSX: PowerShell cmdlets to automate NSX

Looking to automate NSX for vSphere? Unsure where to start? Look no further than PowerNSX.

NSX, PowerShell, PowerNSX

PowerNSX is a PowerShell module that abstracts the VMware NSX for vSphere API to a set of easily used PowerShell functions. It aims to focus on exposing New, Update, Remove and Get operations for all key NSX functions as well as adding additional functionality to extend the capabilities of NSX for vSphere management beyond the native UI or API.

PowerNSX works closely with VMware PowerCLI, and PowerCLI users will feel quickly at home using PowerNSX. Together these tools provide a comprehensive command line environment to manage your VMware NSX for vSphere environments.

PowerNSX continues to be updated and feature requests are welcome via the issues tracker on the projects GitHub page. Remember that VMware does not support this module, and PowerNSX comes with no warranties express or implied. Please test and validate PowerNSXs functionality before using in a production environment.

  • Over 210 cmdlets providing CRUD operations for a majority of NSX for vSphere’s capability. This command-line environment (programmatic language) allows for projects and applications of all sizes!
