Install IIS 8.5 on a Windows Server 2012 R2 instance
This topic describes how to install Internet Information Services (IIS) 8.5 on an ECS instance that runs Windows Server 2012 R2.
Note:
When you perform risky operations, such as modifying an instance or its data, ensure that your instance has disaster recovery and fault tolerance capabilities to protect your data.
Before you modify instance configurations or data for products such as ECS and RDS, create snapshots or enable features such as RDS log backup.
If you have submitted security information, such as logon credentials, or granted permissions on the Alibaba Cloud platform, change your credentials promptly.
