Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Network isolation between tenants
Multitenancy isolation requires strong network isolation (e.g., virtual networks, security groups) and data isolation (e.g., separate databases or encryption per tenant) to prevent one tenant from accessing another's data.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Network isolation between tenants
Why this is correct
Correct. Network isolation prevents cross-tenant traffic.
- ✗
Single shared database for all tenants
Why it's wrong here
Sharing a database without isolation risks data leakage.
- ✗
Using the same OS image for all tenants
Why it's wrong here
OS image reuse does not guarantee isolation.
- ✓
Data isolation (e.g., schema per tenant or encryption)
Why this is correct
Correct. Data isolation ensures tenant data separation.
- ✗
Resource pooling across tenants
Why it's wrong here
Resource pooling is a characteristic, not an isolation principle.
