Tenants associated with a cloud-hosted application seek to reduce running costs and minimize resource consumption by sharing components and resources. However, despite the benefits, sharing resources can affect tenant’s access and overall performance if one tenant abruptly experiences a significant workload, particularly if the application fails to accommodate this sudden increase in workload. In cases where a there is a higher or varying degree of isolation between components, this issue can become severe. This paper aims to present novel solutions for deploying components of a cloud-hosted application with the purpose of guaranteeing the required degree of multitenancy isolation through a mathematical optimization model and metaheuristic algorithm. Research conducted through this paper demonstrates that, when compared, optimal solutions achieved through the model had low variability levels and percent deviation. This paper additionally provides areas of application of our optimization model as well as challenges and recommendations for deploying components associated with varying degrees of isolation.
