Abstract
Various embodiments provide a method and apparatus for providing a tenant redundancy architecture that does not require reserving a complete set of duplicate resources, pushing complexity into the application domain or require the application to communicate simultaneously with two active tenant instances. In particular, a shadow tenant is created that has the functionality of the service tenant but is hidden from the rest of the network until activated.
