What is a multi-tenancy in cloud computing?
Hello,
The term "software multitenancy" refers to a in which a single of runs on a server and serves multiple tenants. A tenant is a group of users who share a common access with specific privileges to the software instance. With a multitenant architecture, a is designed to provide every tenant a dedicated share of the instance - including its data, configuration, user management, tenant individual functionality and . Multitenancy contrasts with multi-instance architectures, where separate software instances operate on behalf of different tenants.

I think it is easier to understand “multi-tenancy” through the progression of the industry. We started from dedicated Data Center with our own servers and infrastructure, not just for a company, but for application (one software requires a set of hardware); with the virtualization, we start to share hardware for different application within an organization; with the vitalization going further into the network, switches (VLAN, VPC, etc), the security concerns of sharing hardware got resolved, that enables full software managed, fully shared infrastructure with multiple companies, hence the term. Computing is a utility, same as electricity now.Multi tenancy is where the resources of the Cloud will be allocated to multiple users but still you get the performance impact of running on a dedicated machine. Cloud Service Providers allocate resources from a pool of resources and the resource separation between users is achieved by hypervisors.
