Create or update app pool in IIS web app manage task causes other other app pools to shut down
In our Azure DevOps release pipeline we have an https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/tasks/deploy/iis-web-app-management-on-machine-group?view=azure-devopstask that has Create or update app pool checked. We have a few Blazor Server apps running on our IIS server. We have noticed that when the task above runs for a release, other Blazor Server apps (with different app pools) are shutting down. The logs show: Application is shutting down... from Microsoft.Hosting.Lifetime.
Is this to be expected, or is this an issue with how we might have things configured in either IIS or the IIS web app manage task? When Create or update app pool is not checked, the other app pools do not shut down.
I would expect that when enabling Create or update app pool, only the app pool being created or updated would get shutdown.
