When should soft multitenancy be used over hard multitenancy?
Suggested Answer: A Vote an answer
* Soft multitenancy(Namespaces, RBAC, Network Policies) # assumes some level of trust between tenants, focuses onresource sharing and efficiency.
* Hard multitenancy(separate clusters or strong virtualization) # strict isolation, used when tenants are untrusted.
* Exact extract (CNCF TAG Security Multi-Tenancy Whitepaper):
* "Soft multi-tenancy refers to multiple workloads running in the same cluster with some trust assumptions. It provides resource sharing and operational efficiency. Hard multi- tenancy requires stronger isolation guarantees, typically separate clusters." References:
