11. What is Dbatools? A tool set for managing MS SQL Servers
It is written in PowerShell and is an open sourced module
Written (Chrissy (Rob Sewell) and a handful of others

12. But isn’t there something already?
Yup..
Sqlcmd – not PowerShell
Minishell - SQLPS.exe
SQLServer Snapin
SMO
SQLServer Module (2014-present)
SQLCMD tool originally designed for interacting with the database only. Minishell was not a fan favorite as it was restrictive and buggy. Snapins were a PowerShell 2.0 method. SMO objects are the preferred objects used by SSMS for any custom plugins (Also used by PowerShell). SQLServer Module was buggy, Slowly developed, Invoke-SQLCmd was slow,

13. Case for Dbatools Community built Open to user review
Codifying best practices
Automates all the things
Community built means that actual product users create the tools they need. The code is not compiled (like the SQLServer module) so security teams may review each cmdlet. By writing cmdlets like Test-DbaPowerPlan it reminds the community of best practices. One of the best things to automate is Database migrations
dbatools aims to support as many configurations as possible, including
PowerShell v3 and above
Windows, macOS and Linux
SQL Server
Express - Datacenter Edition
Clustered and stand-alone instances
Windows and SQL authentication
Default and named instances
Multiple instances on one server
Auto-populated parameters for command-line completion (think -Database and -Login)
