About PowerShell Universal

PowerShell Universal takes existing PowerShell scripts and makes them usable as production automation. Scripts can be run and orchestrated centrally, exposed as REST APIs, or wrapped in web dashboards so colleagues can run admin tasks without touching a console.

Configuration can be stored in Git and extended with PowerShell modules. It is now part of the Devolutions product range. A free Developer Edition includes the full feature set, while production use is licensed through Devolutions.
