AutomatedLab UI

AutomatedLab UI is PowerShell Universal app that provides a web-based frontend for AutomatedLab management powered by AutomatedLab.Utils. Technically you should consider this a frontend for AutomatedLab.Utils, but let's not split hairs.

TL;DR

Once you have an AutomatedLab script, you use this thing to manage the lab, and various other components of AutomatedLab as well

Features

• Lab Management: Define new Lab configurations, Start/Stop labs under management
• ISO Management: Upload, view, and manage ISO files for lab deployments
• Custom Roles: Create and manage custom roles for lab machines

Requirements

• Any supported version of Windows with the Hyper-V role enabled
• PowerShell 7+
• AutomatedLab module (5.58.0+
• AutomatedLab.Utils module (v1.6.0+)
• Configuration module (v1.6.0+)
• PowerShell Universal 5.0+ - the unlicensed version is fine!
