Chipped away at it and found the following site that assist in converting .htaccess files in to web.configs:

https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/azureossds/2015/04/23/converting-apache-htaccess-rules-to-iis-web-config-using-iis-manager-for-azure-websites/

Requires having URL Rewrite 2.0 on IIS server. Once imported though you get the following web.config file for the rewrites:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
 <configuration>
     <system.webServer>
         <rewrite>
             <rewriteMaps>
                 <rewriteMap name="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" />
             </rewriteMaps>
             <rules>
                 <clear />
                 <rule name="Imported Rule 1" stopProcessing="true">
                     <match url="^(.*)/$" ignoreCase="false" />
                     <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
                         <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" ignoreCase="false" negate="true" />
                     </conditions>
                     <action type="Redirect" url="/{R:1}" redirectType="Permanent" />
                 </rule>
                 <rule name="Imported Rule 2" stopProcessing="true">
                     <match url="^" ignoreCase="false" />
                     <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
                         <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" ignoreCase="false" negate="true" />
                         <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" ignoreCase="false" negate="true" />
                     </conditions>
                     <action type="Rewrite" url="index.php" />
                 </rule>
             </rules>
         </rewrite>
     </system.webServer>
 </configuration>

The site now loads and lets me log in, though it does not look pretty. Currently working on that issue.

@Nakatomi2010 If you have not resolved this issue, please verify your folder permissions.

IIS usually uses a local user, called: IIS_IUSRS
You'll want to verify that this user has the following allowed:

Read & Execute
List folder contents
Read
Write

These permissions should be applied to the following folders:

storage
bootstrap/cache
public/uploads

Please, also verify that you are pulling the Release Branch, and not the Master Branch.
