Degrees of tenant isolation for cloud-hosted software services : a cross-case analysis (2018)
Journal Article
cross-case analysis. Journal of Cloud Computing: Advances, Systems and Applications, 7(22), https://doi.org/10.1186/s13677-018-0121-8

A challenge, when implementing multi-tenancy
in a cloud-hosted software service, is how to ensure that the
performance and resource consumption of one tenant does
not adversely affect other tenants. Software designers and
architects must achieve... Read More about Degrees of tenant isolation for cloud-hosted software services : a cross-case analysis.
