What describes the ability to dedicate resources to a single organization in cloud computing?

Single tenancy refers to an architecture in cloud computing where a single organization is allocated its own set of resources, allowing it to maintain greater control over those resources. In a single-tenant environment, the hardware and software are dedicated exclusively to that one organization, which can enhance security and performance because there is no sharing of resources with other tenants. Organizations that require strict compliance or have specific performance needs often prefer single tenancy, as it isolates their data and applications from those of other users. This model contrasts with multitenancy, where multiple organizations share the same infrastructure and possibly the same instances of applications, leading to potential risks and management complexities regarding data and resource isolation.
