poolid

Poolid is a label used in computing to uniquely identify a pool of resources. The term is formed from pool and id, and is commonly used in configuration files, application programming interfaces, and management consoles.

In software architectures, pools refer to collections of reusable resources, such as database connections, threads, or memory blocks. The poolid serves as a handle that software uses to request a resource from the appropriate pool, to configure behavior, or to apply a policy.

In practice, poolids are designed to be unique within a given scope (for example within an application, a host, or a cloud account). They are often static identifiers assigned at pool creation, and may or may not change when the pool is reconfigured.

Common conventions include alphanumeric strings, sometimes with prefixes indicating type or environment (prod-, dev-). They may appear in logs, telemetry, and API calls.
