Explanation
The NIST definition of cloud computing identifies five essential characteristics. Multi-tenancy (also described as 'Resource Pooling' in the NIST model) refers to the model where multiple customers (tenants) share the same underlying physical infrastructure and resources, with logical isolation between them. This is the business model of shared resources. Elasticity refers to rapid scaling of resources. Broad Network Access refers to access via standard mechanisms from heterogeneous devices. Availability is not one of the five NIST characteristics by that name. Multi-tenancy/resource pooling is the defining shared-resource characteristic.
