Hi Bidyasagar Mishra, Application pools allow you to isolate your applications from one another, even if they are running on the same server. This way, if there is an error in one app, it won't take down other applications Additionally, applications pools allow you to separate different apps which require different levels of security. Go through resources : IIS and ASP.NET: The Application Pool https://www.developer.com/net/asp/article.php/2245511/IIS-and-ASPNET-The-Application-Pool.htm Thanks

Hi, Microsoft Docs : An Internet Information Services (IIS) application pool is a grouping of URLs that is routed to one or more worker processes. Because application pools define a set of Web applications that share one or more worker processes, they provide a convenient way to administer a set of Web sites and applications and their corresponding worker processes. Process boundaries separate each worker process; therefore, a Web site or application in one application pool will not be affected by application problems in other application pools. Application pools significantly increase both the reliability and manageability of a Web infrastructure.
