Excellent video Devon. As you mention, Single tenant, dedicated container PaaS forces a one to many relationship between tenant application and application server nodes. In contrast, a multi-tenant, shared container PaaS offers a many to many relationship between tenant applications and application server nodes. Is there a “Show me the money” difference? You bet, up to 659% better investment performance when deploying in high tenant, multiple service scenarios.
