HashiCorp Nomad IIS Task Driver
A task driver for HashiCorp Nomad to run web-applications in IIS on Windows machines. Unlike most other Nomad task drivers, this one is written in the C# language using ASP.NET 8. It uses the Microsoft.Web.Administration-API to communicate with IIS. Feel free to use it as-is or as a reference implementation for your own C#-based Nomad-plugins.
