Hello Manish, Certainly, deploying an ASP.NET web application on a local on-premises DevOps server is feasible. Since you mentioned not having Azure, the process would involve setting up a local DevOps server. This can be achieved using Azure DevOps Server, formerly known as Team Foundation Server (TFS), which allows you to run DevOps services on your infrastructure. Here's a high-level overview of the steps involved: 1. **Install Azure DevOps Server**: Set up the Azure DevOps Server on your local server within the company's network. This involves installing and configuring the necessary infrastructure and services. 2. **Source Control**: Integrate your ASP.NET web application with a source control system supported by Azure DevOps Server, such as Git or Team Foundation Version Control (TFVC). 3. **Build and Release Pipelines**: Create build and release pipelines within Azure DevOps to automate the build and deployment process. You can define tasks and scripts in the build pipeline to compile and package your web application. 4. **Agent Configuration**: Install and configure build/release agents on your local server to execute the deployment tasks defined in the pipelines. 5. **Deployment**: Define the release workflow in Azure DevOps to deploy the web application to your local on-premises server. This might involve using IIS for hosting the deployed application. When it comes to specific code snippets, it would largely depend on your project structure, build process, and deployment requirements. However, typical deployment scripts might involve copying files to the target server, configuring IIS settings, and potentially automating database schema changes. Do you already have a specific setup and build process in place for your ASP.NET web application, or are you looking for guidance on the entire deployment process within Azure DevOps Server? Let me know if you need further assistance with any particular aspect of this deployment process.
