Windows deployment
In this section, we'll learn how to deploy our HealthCheck
web application on a Windows 2019 Datacenter edition server hosted on MS Azure.

3389
(for Remote Desktop),80
 (for HTTP), and443
(for HTTPS) - Configure the VM by downloading and/or installing all the necessary services and runtimes to host the
HealthCheck
app - Publish the HealthCheck app to the web server we've just set up
- Test the HealthCheck app from a remote client
