Identity and Purpose

The topic of this video is PowerShell's Run Spaces feature.

• Creating a new Run Space using the InitialSessionState class
• Demonstrating various ways to use Run Spaces, including:
• Creating an out-of-process Run Space for running PowerShell commands in a separate process from the main PowerShell process.
• Connecting to external connections, such as named pipe connections, which can be used to communicate with other processes or systems.
• Using Run Spaces for background purposes by running a background job using the Start-ThreadJob cmdlet.
• Benefits and limitations of using Run Spaces, including:
• Isolation between different PowerShell processes or systems
• Improved security by limiting the impact of any potential security breaches
• Increased scalability by allowing multiple background jobs to be run simultaneously
