What is cloud isolation?
Cloud isolation in cloud computing refers to techniques that separate resources, data, and workloads to enhance security, prevent interference between users or tenants, and ensure compliance.
Isolation can be logical (via virtualisation, VPCs, or containers) or physical (dedicated hardware), shielding against threats like noisy neighbours or breaches in multi-tenant setups. It uses firewalls, encryption, and access controls to limit data flow and protect sensitive operations.
In the context of Atlassian Isolated Cloud, it specifically means providing a dedicated, single-tenant environment where your compute, storage, and networking are logically or physically segregated from other customers.

Are Cloud customers hosted in multi-tenant or isolated environments?
Every production cloud application runs in an isolated environment based on Docker containers. Applications running on a common server have nothing except the hardware in common.
Private cloud solution separates your application physically, only your app and nothing else on a hardware server.
