About IIS application pools
I am new to IIS 8 (running on windows 2012 R2 an Amazon EC2 server).
I am creating a bunch of websites to migrate to this new server. Each time a configure a website, IIS creates a new application pool for me using the name of the website.
Should I allow websites to share the same application pool? It seems to be a setting that allows me to share settings or something, but I am not sure which settings and what strategy I would use to decide to share or not to share.
I do have some websites that use HTTPS, I do have some that have a lot of visitors and some that have few visitors, not sure what else..
Thanks for any help!
