Diffrence Between Power SHELL and CMD

Difference Between PowerShell & CMD



A shell is a type of program that allows users to access kernel services from the GUI layer of the operating system. Every type of operating system has this function, given that the graphical level of the operating system, as in Windows, Linux or MAC OS, is a type of shell. Command-line interface shells are usually preferred by advanced users for some tasks because they are much faster due to less overhead.

  1. Scripting Language

    • Windows PowerShell's scripting language interacts directly with the .NET framework, processing objects rather than simple text. This language also allows for full control of networked computers within the domain, making it perfect for domain administrators. This makes it much more powerful than the command line accessed from "CMD."

    Batch Language

    • Batch languages are typically a layer of abstraction above scripting languages, using simplified commands that incorporate a large amount of services. CMD is set up this way, in order to be more easily understood and used by users who don't necessarily need as many functions readily available.

    Extensible Interface

    • Since PowerShell extensively uses the .NET framework, new commands, syntax and interactivity with other programs and services can be easily implemented. This flexibility contributes to PowerShell being a much more powerful and flexible shell program than CMD.

    Based on DOS

    • CMD, also called Command Prompt, is designed to resemble MS-DOS, although it is not running MS-DOS, which would be an entirely different operating system running within Windows. The current form of CMD is set up with the syntax of MS-DOS so that it is familiar to legacy users, but users shouldn't expect MS-DOS programs to be automatically compatible in CMD.

LINUX CONTAINERS

LINUX CONTAINERS What is Linux Container:  Linux containers have different approach than the Virtualization technology. Simply we can say this is OS level Virtualization, which means all containers run on top of one linux operating system.  We can start containers on a hardware running machine or inside of running virtual machine. Each container run's as a fully isolated operating sysem. In container virtualization rather than having an entire Operating System guest OS, containers isolate the guest but do not virtualize the hardware. For running containers one needs a patched kernel and user tools, the kernel provides process isolation and performs resource management. Thus all containers are running under the same kernel but they still have their own file system, processes, memory etc. Linux based containers mainly involved with two concepts: 1. Namespaces 2. Cgroups ( Controll Groups) There are total 6 types of Namespaces: 1. PID Na...

Docker Container Management from Cockpit

Cockpit can manage containers via docker. This functionality is present in the Cockpit docker package. Cockpit communicates with docker via its API via the /var/run/docker.sock unix socket. The docker API is root equivalent, and on a properly configured system, only root can access the docker API. If the currently logged in user is not root then Cockpit will try to escalate the user’s privileges via Polkit or sudo before connecting to the socket. Alternatively, we can create a docker Unix group. Anyone in that docker group can then access the docker API, and gain root privileges on the system. [root@rhel8 ~] #  yum install cockpit-docker    -y  Once the package installed then "containers" section would be added in the dashboard and we can manage the containers and images from the console. We can search or pull an image from docker hub just by searching with the keyword like nginx centos.   Once the Image download...
