Explanation

In a shared-tenant (multi-tenant) cloud model, multiple customers share the same physical hardware and infrastructure managed by the cloud provider. Because costs like hardware, maintenance, and data center operations are distributed across many tenants, each customer pays a smaller fraction of the total cost. This is the primary driver for choosing shared-tenant over dedicated (single-tenant) models. Dedicated hardware and increased security are actually characteristics of single-tenant (dedicated) deployments, not shared-tenant. High availability can exist in both models.
