For our demo we are going to use DropBox. It could be a web server with FTP enabled, Amazon S3 or Azure blob storage. Now, we have to upload application package to some external storage to make it available from target server via HTTP. Let’s create a trivial web application with a single “Hello, world!” page and deploy it to the demo server.Ĭreate a new SimpleWebApp-1.0.zip archive with the first version of default.aspx inside.

To quickly install IIS 7.5 on demo machine we use this PowerShell command:Īdd-WindowsFeature -Name Web-Default-Doc,Web-Dir-Browsing,Web-Http-Errors,Web-Static-Content,Web-Http-Logging,Web-Stat-Compression,Web-Filtering,Web-Net-Ext,Web-Net-Ext45,Web-Asp-Net,Web-Asp-Net45,Web-ISAPI-Ext,Web-Mgmt-Console

PowerShell remoting HTTPS endpoint port 5986 is allowed on firewall and we also add HTTP endpoint to our demo server:įor any other server you can follow this very detailed guide on how to configure PowerShell remoting. When you create a new virtual machine on Windows Azure PowerShell remoting will be automatically enabled and configured. We strongly recommend using HTTPS to communicate with remote servers as all traffic is encrypted. Perhaps, the most challenging part in the whole process is setting up PowerShell remoting with SSL certificate.

To give you a sneak peek of PowerShell deployment let’s create a simple web application and deploy it to a server. There is no magic at all - the module is written in PowerShell and could be easily explored or modified. Application package is just a zip with application folder contents uploaded to some external storage and available via HTTP.

Deployment task downloads application package, unpacks it, updates configuration settings and creates or updates application website and pool. To automate project deployment we’ll use PowerShell deployment framework - AppRolla.ĪppRolla uses PowerShell remoting to execute deployment tasks on the target machine. The first question - how are we going to deploy Windows service? We don’t have “Publish” menu on Windows service and we don’t have config transforms either! Web Deploy doesn’t work here.
