As with any managed services or infrastructure services projects, maintaining the server inventory is very crucial. The server-inventory-file provides a one-stop checklist, that you can refer while you are on priority 1 bridge calls.
With a traditional data center, it is easy to maintain server/infra inventory on an excel sheet. But it is not the same with the cloud because the infrastructure is so dynamic.
The only solution to this problem is Automation. I have written a PowerShell script just to do that.
Below is the link to the script:

I don’t get any errors when running the script.

The script does not produce any output from function Create-EC2InstanceWorksheet and VirtualMachine worksheet in excel is blank. It populates other 3 sheets. Any ideas?
