In this tutorial, you'll learn about ASPNET Deployment Iis. We cover key concepts, practical examples, and best practices to help you understand and apply this topic effectively.

Deploying ASP.NET Core applications to IIS requires the ASP.NET Core Module (ANCM) which acts as a reverse proxy between IIS and the Kestrel web server.

<!-- web.config -->
<configuration>
  <location path="." inheritInChildApplications="false">
    <system.webServer>
      <handlers>
        <add name="aspNetCore" path="*" verb="*"
             modules="AspNetCoreModuleV2" resourceType="Unspecified" />
      </handlers>
      <aspNetCore processPath="dotnet"
                  arguments=".\ScanApp.dll"
                  stdoutLogEnabled="false"
                  stdoutLogFile=".\logs\stdout"
                  hostingModel="inprocess">
        <environmentVariables>
          <environmentVariable name="ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT" value="Production" />
        </environmentVariables>
      </aspNetCore>
      <urlCompression doStaticCompression="true" doDynamicCompression="true" />
    </system.webServer>
  </location>
</configuration>

IIS deployment leverages the in-Process hosting model for optimal performance on Windows servers.
