Floating pools are a pool of desktops where any user can be assigned to any desktop in the pool upon login. Floating pools are generally used for stateless desktop deployments. Floating pools can be used with roaming profiles or View persona to provide a consistent user experience on login. Since floating pools are treated as disposable VMs, we open up additional options for HA. Floating pools are given two local disks, the OS disk which is a replica from the assigned base VM, and the disposable disk where the page file, hibernation file, and temp drive are located. Depending on the View configuration, the OS disk can be refreshed on every logoff to ensure a consistent user experience. When floating pools are refreshed, recomposed, or rebalanced, all changes made to the desktop by the users are lost.
