Habr<p>Chocolatey + PowerShell: как развернуть софт на 100 ПК за час</p><p>Представьте: ваша организация закупила 100 новых компьютеров, на каждый из которых нужно установить десяток различных программ (текстовые редакторы, браузеры, средства коммуникации, разработки и тд.). Ручная установка займёт огромное количество времени, а ошибки и человеческий фактор удвоят затраченное время вдвое. Но есть способ лучше - автоматизация через Chocolatey и PowerShell. В этой статье разберём: 1. Как развернуть ПО на всех машинах за кратчайший срок; 2. Как создать собственные пакеты и управлять ими; 3. Как внедрить данное решение в вашу организацию. Если вы системный администратор, DevOps, ИТ-инженер или специалист ТП - постараюсь помочь сэкономить вам десятки часов рутинной работы.</p><p><a href="https://habr.com/ru/articles/922164/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">habr.com/ru/articles/922164/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://zhub.link/tags/%D0%90%D0%B2%D1%82%D0%BE%D0%BC%D0%B0%D1%82%D0%B8%D0%B7%D0%B0%D1%86%D0%B8%D1%8F" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Автоматизация</span></a> <a href="https://zhub.link/tags/chocolatey" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>chocolatey</span></a> <a href="https://zhub.link/tags/script" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>script</span></a> <a href="https://zhub.link/tags/%D0%BF%D0%B0%D0%BA%D0%B5%D1%82%D0%BD%D1%8B%D0%B9_%D0%BC%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B5%D0%B4%D0%B6%D0%B5%D1%80" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>пакетный_менеджер</span></a> <a href="https://zhub.link/tags/powershell" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>powershell</span></a> <a href="https://zhub.link/tags/windows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>windows</span></a></p>

mav :happy_blob:<p>I don't know when we decided at some point that every search should be a wildcard/AI-ish search? Friggin <a href="https://hackers.town/tags/CHOCOLATEY" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CHOCOLATEY</span></a> does this now: choco search openshot returns every fucking package in the db with "open" in the name. </p><p>This is asinine behavior.
