Sažetak
The emergence of virtualization has significantly increased the complexity of IT systems, while users simultaneously demand faster, more flexible access, higher levels of application integration, and intuitive ease of use. To address these administrative challenges, scripting serves as a key solution for achieving automation across diverse hardware and software components within an ecosystem. Such an approach provides an efficient and cost-effective strategy for transforming traditional, console-managed data centers into proactive and dynamic operational models. This paper analyzes VMware PowerCLI, an administrative automation tool built on the PowerShell scripting language, designed for the comprehensive management of virtualization platforms based on the VMware hypervisor. The core of the paper presents a custom-developed automation solution for the power management of virtual machines. The proposed model integrates the Jira service management platform with the VMware vSphere infrastructure, ensuring a seamless workflow from the initial user request to the final execution of operations within the virtual environment.
