What occurs in the cloud and means that a single instance of a system serves multiple customers quizlet?

Multi-tenancy occurs in the cloud means that a single instance of a system serves multiple customers. In the cloud, each customer is called a tenant and multiple tenants can access the same system.

What in the cloud means that a single?

The cloud means that a single instance of a system serves multiple customers. Each customer or tenant must purchase and maintain an individual system. The software that makes possible the benefits of cloud computing, such as multi-tenancy.

What is multi

A multi-tenant cloud is a cloud computing architecture that allows customers to share computing resources in a public or private cloud. Each tenant's data is isolated and remains invisible to other tenants. In a multi-tenant cloud system, users have individualized space for storing their projects and data.
