Hi, I understand you're stabilizing a production IIS/ASP.NET Core deployment on Windows Server 2022 with Azure Front Door and SQL Server. This is a familiar setup where small misconfigurations in ARR, URL Rewrite, or app pool settings trigger outages under load. In System Administration roles, I’ve supported production IIS environments hosting .NET Core Web API apps. I’d start by validating the current request flow, isolating unstable parts, and tightening hosting settings for .NET Core apps, while adding targeted logging. I’d also adjust CI/CD publishing steps and ensure deployment integrity to reduce failures. One technical risk is memory pressure causing worker processes to crash under peak traffic. What should happen if a deployment fails during CI/CD publishing and how should we handle rollbacks? Who owns DNS/SSL termination and Front Door configuration, and how should logs be retained during rollout? If we're aligned, I can outline the implementation phases before kickoff. Best regards, Brandon

Hi, I will diagnose the 500.30 startup errors, stabilize your app pool recycling under traffic spikes, and fix the forwarding-header issues behind Azure Front Door so your ASP.NET Core 8 API runs reliably on that Windows Server 2022 VM. On a similar production setup, correcting the `ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT` and `forwardedHeadersOptions` config resolved both the 500.30 crashes and SSL redirect loops in one pass. I will send you a short update at the end of each day. Questions: 1) Are you using in-process or out-of-process hosting? 2) Is your CI/CD pipeline in Azure DevOps or something else? Happy to start with a quick call to review your current IIS config. Looking forward to potentially working together. Thanks, Kamran

Hello, I hope you're doing well. I have hands-on experience managing production IIS and ASP.NET Core hosting, having delivered multiple fixes for stability and deployment issues. I recently stabilized an API behind Azure Front Door by tuning ARR/URL Rewrite rules, fixing forwarding-header handling and switching to the ASP.NET Core Module with Kestrel process model to stop 500.30 restarts. I'd start with IIS logs, stdout logs, and Event Viewer, then check app pool recycle settings, memory limits, ARR timeouts and the forwarding-header middleware configuration (ForwardedHeadersOptions). I'll also review your Azure DevOps publish profile and deployment logs. Could we hop on a short call to confirm the shape of your CI/CD logs and the exact 500.30 error messages? Thank you, Alpeshbhai M.

Hello, Your production IIS-hosted ASP.NET Core 8 API appears to be impacted by misconfigured forward headers from Azure Front Door and aggressive app-pool recycling causing 500.30 startup failures. I'll correct ARR and URL Rewrite rules, enable ForwardedHeaders and ANCM settings, tune application pool recycling/memory limits, and add graceful startup and health probes to prevent crashes and deployment race conditions. I'll also harden SSL redirect flow and ensure CI/CD uses app_offline during publish for atomic deploys. I stabilized a similar ASP.NET Core 6 API on IIS behind Front Door by fixing forwarding headers and ANCM timeouts, eliminating startup errors and reducing restarts by 90%. Consider adding structured logging and endpoint health checks for quicker root-cause detection. Thank you, - Bohdan
