Learning about the new IIS REST Management API

If you have been working with the IIS web server and its management, you've without doubt used the graphical IIS Manager application and the command-line appcmd.exe. Lately, Microsoft has been working on a new management API, and earlier this year, we got the first glimpses of this new API.

The new API is based on HTTP and REST, and thus is useful for many different applications and management systems. The above-linked document contains a nice overview of the new API, and especially in case you need to integrate applications with IIS or you need automation, I suggest checking out this new API.

Hope this helps!
