IIS7 powerful functions fully scalable API

Let's take a look at IIS7 today. IIS7 is the most powerful Web server released by Microsoft so far. It provides a set of new features, greatly improving the way Web solutions are developed, deployed, and managed. IIS7's modular design gives administrators unprecedented control over their Web servers.

With the functions provided by IIS7 in Windows Server 2008, Web administrators can manage Web infrastructure more effectively and reliably. Web developers can quickly build more competitive Web solutions.

Modular architecture: IIS7 is designed to help IT professionals accurately customize the features to be installed and run on Web servers. IIS has now been divided into more than 40 functional modules, each module can be installed independently, which greatly reduces the potential attack surface and server memory requirements.

Fully scalable API: IIS7 enables developers to expand Web servers in a smoother way. IIS7's core Web server functions are built using a new set of public Web server APIs. developers can use these APIs to expand, replace, or add functions to the Web server.

These APIs can be used as local Win32 APIs and managed. NET Framework APIs. Developers can also utilize IIS7's event logging, configuration, and management tool's feature set scalability to use third-party extension tools to provide customers with a smooth experience.

Unified distributed configuration mode: IIS7 provides a unified Configuration System for developers and administrators to store all IIS and ASP files in a single XML format. and contains a group of managed code and script APIs for accessing the configuration information of the entire Web platform.

This new configuration system supports distributed configuration files that can be stored together with the Web site or application directory.

These improvements are important for application configuration and deployment. Now, the Web site and application settings are not explicitly bound to centralized configuration storage on local machines, and configuration can be simply copied from the developer's workstation to the test server, then go to the production Web server.

After the Web site enters the production site, the administrator can share configuration information across multiple front-end Web servers, avoiding costly and error-prone replication and manual synchronization problems. IIS7 functions are not the only one. We will explain more IIS7 knowledge later.
