Which of the following describe a multitenant application in Cloud Foundry? Note: There are 2 correct answers to this question.

Question

Options

• AIt uses shared memory for tenant-specific data.
• BIt allows multiple consumers to access the application via unique URLs.
• CIt provides automatic scaling based on tenant requirements.
• DIt stores data on the local file system of each instance.

• A
  4% (1)
• B
  92% (22)
• D
  4% (1)

Explanation

In Cloud Foundry, a multitenant application serves multiple customers (tenants) from a single deployment, exposing each tenant via a unique route/URL (B) so they are logically separated while sharing infrastructure. Automatic scaling (C) is a core platform capability that adjusts resources to meet combined or per-tenant demand, making it a defining characteristic of scalable multitenant SaaS on CF.

A is wrong because storing tenant-specific data in shared memory would violate tenant isolation - a fundamental security requirement of multitenancy. D is wrong because Cloud Foundry instances are ephemeral; local file systems are wiped on restarts/rescaling, making them unsuitable for any persistent tenant data - external bound services (databases, object stores) are used instead.

Memory tip: Think "one building, many tenants" - each tenant gets their own front door (unique URL) and the building's HVAC auto-adjusts (scaling), but tenants never share a personal safe (no shared memory) and nothing important is left in a hallway that gets swept daily (no local file system).
