Episode 82: Multitenancy — Sharing the Cloud Securely
This episode introduces the concept of multitenancy, where multiple customers share the same cloud infrastructure while maintaining logical separation. Hypervisors, containers, and virtual networks enforce isolation between tenants, ensuring data and resources remain secure. The exam covers multitenancy because it underpins how public cloud providers deliver services to many organizations simultaneously.
The discussion expands with examples, such as multiple companies hosting applications on the same cloud hardware or containers isolating workloads in shared environments. Security considerations are emphasized, including potential risks from weak isolation and the role of provider controls. Troubleshooting issues may involve diagnosing noisy neighbor problems, where one tenant consumes excessive resources. By understanding multitenancy, you’ll be able to evaluate exam questions and explain how organizations safely share cloud infrastructure.
