Virtualized Application Latency Risks

Virtualization technology imposes a modest latency overhead to support multitenancy (Section 1.4.3), resource pooling (Section 1.4.6), and other enablers of cloud computing. This overhead creates both tail application latency risk (Table 17.1) and typical application latency risk (Table 17.2). Figure 17.1 illustrates how these risks fit into cloud risk fishbone.
