what is Application pooling in Asp.net

Question

Satyapriya Nayak · Answer

Hi Panayan, An Application Pool can contain one or more applications and allows us to configure a level of isolation between different Web applications. For example, if you want to isolate all the Web applications running in the same computer, you can do this by creating a separate application pool for every Web application and placing them in their corresponding application pool. Because each application pool runs in its own worker process, errors in one application pool will not affect the applications running in other application pools. Deploying applications in application pools is a primary advantage of running IIS 6.0 in worker process isolation mode because you can customize the application pools to achieve the degree of application isolation that you need. When you configure application pools for optimum availability, you also should consider how to configure application pools for application security. For example, you might need to create separate application pools for applications that require a high level of security, while allowing applications that require a lower level of security to share the same application pool. In the later part of this article, we will see how to configure identities at the application pool level.
