Welcome to PowerShell in CapaInstaller; we call them PowerPacks.

With our new version of CapaInstaller, a brand new PowerShell executions engine has been developed to support PowerShell scripts directly from CapaInstaller.

titleFrontend Performance

Our CapaInstaller Frontend Service has significantly improved its performance by optimizing how it handles file requests. On every file request, the agent used to do a file exist before downloading or uploading a file, and this has been removed because we are not using the outbound folder on the container anymore and therefore don´t risk the file conflicts anymore.
