Cloud Multi-tenancy

Cloud Multi-Tenancy provides a basic guide for anyone interested in understanding the multi-tenant cloud environments. The book discusses the benefits and challenges of multi-tenancy, as well as architecture, security, compliance, tenant management, billing, monitoring, scalability, self-service, and emerging trends.

 The first few chapters lay the groundwork for understanding multi-tenancy, including the concept of multi-tenancy and how it is implemented in the cloud, as well as an overview of multi-tenancy cloud architecture. Following that, the book delves into the security and compliance concerns that arise in multi-tenant cloud environments, such as data privacy and access control, before delving into the various aspects of managing tenants in a multi-tenant cloud environment, such as tenant onboarding, provisioning and de-provisioning, and tenant customization.

Thereafter, the book delves into the billing and payment aspects of multi-tenant cloud environments, such as pricing models, invoicing, and payment processing. It then delves into the tools and techniques for monitoring and analyzing cloud tenant usage and performance, such as tenant dashboards, logging, and analytics.

The book also discusses the difficulties and advantages of implementing multi-tenant architectures across multiple cloud providers, such as hybrid cloud, cloud interoperability, and cloud migration. The focus then shifts to the challenges and solutions for ensuring scalability and availability in multi-tenant cloud environments, such as load balancing, auto-scaling, and high-availability architecture.

Finally, the book discusses the advantages and disadvantages of providing self-service capabilities to cloud tenants, such as tenant portals, APIs, and automation tools, as well as emerging trends and technologies such as serverless computing, edge computing, and artificial intelligence.
