Multi-Tenancy

Term: Multi-Tenancy

Definition: A model where many independent users (tenants) share the same physical infrastructure, but their workloads should remain isolated.

Context/Example: In public clouds, different customers’ VMs run on the same hypervisors; strong isolation is critical so one customer can’t access another’s data.
