Hello All,

Hope this post finds you in good health and spirit.

Running on the Windows OS and Microsoft.NET platform is an IIS web server. Mono can be used to run IIS on Linux and Mac, however it’s not advised because it can cause instability. (There are additional choices; I’ll outline them later.) It has been extensively utilised in manufacturing for many years because it is adaptable and reliable. The most recent is version 10. After installation, your browser will display this welcome page. “Tervetuloa!”

All Web server functionalities are now controlled as independent parts that are simple to add, delete, and replace. This makes it possible for three crucial improvements over earlier IIS versions:

• Reduce the attack surface area to secure the server. One of the most effective methods to secure a server system is to reduce surface area. IIS enables you to eliminate any unnecessary server functions while still maintaining the operation of your application.
• Enhance functionality while minimising memory footprint. You may decrease the amount of feature code that runs on each request to your application and decrease the amount of memory the server needs by deleting unneeded server features.
• Create specialized/custom servers. You may create custom servers that are specialized for carrying out a particular task inside your application topology, such edge caching or load balancing, by choosing a certain set of server attributes.
• Using your own or third-party server components based on the new extension APIs, you may add customised features to replace or supplement any current functionality. The componentized design benefits the IIS community in the long run by making it easier to implement new server functions when they are required by both Microsoft and third-party developers.
