I previously tried helping a software team deploy their .Net app on Windows VMs. As a Linux engineer, I was shocked at the lack of built-in remote deployment/management options, especially those able to be automated. FTP and SMB shares, the built-in options, are not appropriate for the Internet. Why does Windows Server not ship with an SSH/SFTP server? I ended up deploying a Windows build of OpenSSH just to get remote access parity with Linux servers. Unless things have changed recently, Windows really needs a better out-of-the-box application deployment story.
- schrodinger 12y agoThere's a built in deployment method called "msdeploy" that makes it super easy to deploy a website. It's either one click from visual studio, or highly scriptable from the command line. My company hasn't manually deployed code in years, it's one click in team city to build and deploy.
