Out of Process Hosting Model

As can be read here, to configure OutOfProcess hosting we set in the porject file the following configuration:

<PropertyGroup>
  <AspNetCoreHostingModel>OutOfProcess</AspNetCoreHostingModel>
</PropertyGroup>

With out of forces hosting:

  • There are 2 web servers - An internal web server and an external web server.

  • The internal web server is Kestrel and the external web server can be IIS, Nginx or Apache.

  • With InProcess hosting, there is only one web server i.e the IIS that hosts the asp.net core application. 

  • So, we do not have the performance penalty of proxying requests between internal and external web server.
