A cloud application platform environment will enhance development team agility, lower security risk, streamline application management, and raise server efficiency. However, while cloud application teams are familiar with using traditional virtual server tenancy to isolate applications, they realize at scale, that virtual server tenancy environments quickly experience overcast cloud conditions. The result is a proliferation of cloud machine instances, which increases the security risk, management burden, and operational expense.
