Building a VMware SelfService Portal with PowerShell and Azure
Last month I tried to build a SelfService Portal for VMware vCenter as an alternative to a full automation platform. The goal was to let users provision VMs in minutes, without the overhead that comes with running a full platform. The whole thing runs on Azure services for under $15 per month.
I wanted to see how far I could get using GitHub Copilot and Claude Code to generate most of the code, while still building something I understand and can maintain myself.
