HyperVLab

This project provides a PowerShell module for quickly & easily creating lab environments using Hyper-V.

To read more about the solution, read the introduction page. To learn how to get started, check the getting started page.

Background

I used to create my lab environments by hand, and they usually worked. But sometimes they didn't and it would take me some time to correct or simply recreate. So, some time ago, I started using PowerShell scripts for creating my lab environments. This isn't only more consistent, it is also faster. For me, the goal is not to create these environments, but to use them. Most of the time, I use these lab environments to test & experiment with TFS, Release Management and the like; as well as develop customizations for TFS. Over time, the scripts evolved, turned into a module and got refactored a few times. When starting the most recent refactoring, I decided to make it available on GitHub and PowerShell Gallery.

Status

I'm still refactoring the module. Not only to incorporate some changes, but also to make it usable by others. Also providing documentation on this wiki.
