Described herein are systems, methods, and software to handle requests to an application file shared by a plurality of applications on a computing system. In one implementation, a method of handling request for an application file shared by a plurality of applications on a computing system includes identifying a request for the application file on the computing system, wherein each application in the plurality of applications is associated with an individualized version of the application file, and wherein the plurality of applications is stored on separate application storage volumes attached to the computing system. The method further provides identifying an application associated with the request, and identifying an application storage volume in the application storage volumes that stores the application. Once identified, the method also includes retrieving the application file from the identified storage volume to support the request.

Resolving conflicts of application runtime dependencies

Described herein are systems, methods, and software to enhance network traffic management for virtual machines. In one implementation, a host for a virtual machine may identify applications available for execution on the virtual machine from mounted application volumes and identify firewall rules for the applications. Once identified, the host may identify network traffic for the virtual machine, and forward or block the network traffic for the virtual machine based on the firewall rules.
