Platform & DevOps·Running it: capacity, failure and recovery

several teams or customers share one cluster, and every performance question becomes 'is it us or is it them'.

Also calledmultitenancy, shared platform, soft multi-tenancy

Running multiple independent workloads or customers on shared infrastructure.
