Not to be terribly pedantic, but multi-tenant is literally part of the NIST definition of cloud:
"Resource pooling. The provider’s computing resources are pooled to serve multiple consumers using a multi-tenant model..."
- sqs 4y agoIt’s still an accurate term under that definition. Single-tenant cloud is technically multi-tenant with respect to the underlying cloud provider (AWS/GCP/etc.), but not with respect to the software service provider (GitLab in this case). But I believe language and communication are emergent, decentralized phenomena. Single-tenant cloud is a good and useful term.
- ryanbrunner 4y agoPretty much everything on the cloud is inherently multi-tenant at some layer of abstraction, but because the underlying infrastructure is multi-tenant doesn't mean the application layer needs to be (or that the fact that it's hosted on multi-tenanted infrastructure needs to be relevant at all to it).
