A company is utilizing a cloud service where multiple virtual machines (VMs) are running on the same physical hardware. The IT manager noticed that the performance of their applications varies throughout the day and is particularly affected during peak business hours. Which characteristic of cloud computing is being illustrated in this scenario?
The scenario is highlighting the characteristic of shared resources in cloud computing. Shared resources mean that the cloud provider uses the same physical hardware to host multiple tenants' VMs. This can lead to variable performance, particularly during peak times when there might be higher demand for the hardware’s processing capabilities, memory, and storage.
