There are possible mitigations for cloud providers:
1) pay $x / hour and run on shared machine with possibility of an attack;
2) pay $y / hour (where x < y) and run all your processeses on dedicated machines without anybody else.
Moreover the option 2) already exists for large customers and security sensitive applications (e.g. CIA dedicated cloud built by Amazon).
