he cloud computing market is skyrocketing, with some analysts expecting it to reach nearly US$761 billion by 2027, an annual growth rate of 18.6%. This surge is driven by a veritable laundry list of potential benefits. The cloud can enhance utilization and reduce costs through shared infrastructure for cloud service providers (CSPs). It can offer a pay-as-you-go model with elasticity that lets end users spin up and tear down compute resources as needed. The decentralized infrastructure can enhance resiliency and ensure availability for enterprises. Plus, the massive consolidation and economies of scale can provide great savings for CSPs.

That is the theory, anyway. Reality can be very different.

Many of the benefits of the cloud come at the cost of running workloads in a shared or multitenant environment. Depending on the exact infrastructure, this environment can suffer from several issues, including:

• Unpredictable performance variations (the "noisy neighbor" problem)
• Nonlinear system scalability
• Complex, costly, and/or time-consuming infrastructure management
