Читать книгу Windows Server 2022 & Powershell All-in-One For Dummies - Sara Perrott - Страница 125

Network Controller is a newer role that was introduced in Windows Server 2016. It’s only available in the Datacenter edition, not the Standard edition. Network Controller allows you to configure, monitor, program, and troubleshoot your physical and virtual network infrastructure. To do this work, it can leverage Windows PowerShell or the Representational State Transfer (REST) application programming interface (API) to communicate with the devices. If your organization wants to begin exploring Software-Defined Networking (SDN), this is a great way to start. Being able to use PowerShell to work with the Network Controller could be very powerful, but the REST API will allow you to build integrations with other products, including those that would not understand PowerShell. The communication is done through HTTP/HTTPS, so you don’t have to worry about opening any uncommon network ports to support REST APIs either.
