The accepted answer doesn't give a great example on usage. The Bindings input accepts a multiline string formatted as a particular JSON object. Also be sure to set AddBinding: true as it appears it will ignore the Bindings input without it.

On a related note, if you are storing your certificates in WebHosting (as opposed to MY), the deployment will fail as the task won't be able to find your certificate. Here's the relevant github enhancement to fix this

task: IISWebAppManagementOnMachineGroup@0
displayName: 'IIS Web App Manage'
inputs:
    IISDeploymentType: 'IISWebsite'
    ActionIISWebsite: 'CreateOrUpdateWebsite'
    ...
    AddBinding: true
    Bindings: |
        {
            bindings:[
                {
                    "protocol":"http",
                    "ipAddress":"*",
                    "hostname":"mywebsite.com",
                    "port":"80",
                    "sslThumbprint":"",
                    "sniFlag":false
                },
                {
                    "protocol":"https",
                    "ipAddress":"*",
                    "hostname":"mywebsite.com",
                    "port":"443",
                    "sslThumbprint":"...",
                    "sniFlag":true
                 }
            ]
        }

For those wondering what the format of the "bindings" option should be (I couldn't find any documentation for it), I think I've found it in the source code: https://github.com/microsoft/azure-pipelines-tasks/blob/master/Tasks/IISWebAppManagementOnMachineGroupV0/Utility.ps1#L49 — George Howarth, Sep 06 '22 at 09:13

You need to create a JSon with all information like this:

                                {
                                        "bindings":[{
                                            "protocol":"http",
                                            "ipAddress":"*",
                                            "port":"xxxxx",
                                            "sslThumbprint":"",
                                            "sniFlag":false
                                        },
                                        {
                                            "protocol":"http",
                                            "ipAddress":"*",
                                            "hostname":"yyyyyy.com",
                                            "port":"80",
                                            "sslThumbprint":"",
                                            "sniFlag":false
                                        },
                                        {
                                            "protocol":"http",
                                            "ipAddress":"*",
                                            "hostname":"xxxxxxxx.com",
                                            "port":"80",
                                            "sslThumbprint":"",
                                            "sniFlag":false
                                        }
                                    ]
                                }

It would be helpful if https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/tasks/deploy/iis-web-app-management-on-machine-group?view=azure-devops#yaml-snippet or https://github.com/microsoft/azure-pipelines-tasks/blob/master/Tasks/IISWebAppManagementOnMachineGroupV0/README.md mentioned the format expected!? — Ian Robertson, Jul 17 '20 at 11:57
can someone please point out where you put the above JSON ?? — John Joseph, Aug 07 '20 at 14:41
