Abstract
A mechanism for application partitioning in a multi-tenant PaaS environment in a cloud computing system is disclosed. A method of embodiments includes receiving, by a virtual machine (VM), a request to initialize a container on the VM, the container comprising a resource-constrained space of the VM to execute functionality of an application of a multi-tenant PaaS system. The method also includes assigning a user identification (UID) and non-volatile resources to the container, wherein the UID and non-volatile resources are part of a subset of UIDs and a subset of non-volatile resources allotted to the VM from a range of UIDs and a range of non-volatile resources associated with a district of the VM, and wherein other VMs in the district are not allotted the same subset of UIDs from the range of UIDs or the same subset of non-volatile resources from the range of non-volatile resources.
