Multi-tenant Architecture Comparison

چکیده
Software architects struggle to choose an adequate architectural style for multi-tenant software systems. Bad choices result in poor performance, low scalability, limited flexibility, and obstruct software evolution. We present a comparison of 12 Multi-Tenant Architecture (MTA) patterns that supports architects in choosing the most suitable architectural pattern, using 17 assessment criteria. Both patterns and criteria were evaluated by domain experts. Five architecture assessment rules of thumb are presented in the paper, aimed at making fast and efficient design decisions. The comparison provides architects with an effective method for selecting the applicable multi-tenant architecture pattern, saving them effort, time, and mitigating the effects of making wrong decisions.

متن کاملOptimizing Multi-tenant Cloud Resource Pools via Allocation of Reusable Time Slots
Typical pricing models for IaaS cloud providers are slotted, using hour and month as time units for metering and charging resource usage. Such models lead to financial loss as applications may release resources much earlier than the end of the last allocated time slot, leaving the cost paid for the rest of the time unit wasted. This problem can be minimized for multi-tenant environments by mana...
