# Data Isolation
Data isolation is the separation of workloads, identities, networks, storage, or administrative domains so that access or failure in one boundary does not automatically extend into another.
## Notebook evidence
PDF page 12 of [[Scanned_20260730-1825]] contrasts shared and dedicated Oracle database deployment, serverless elasticity, private endpoints, and threat containment. The page recognizes that automation and isolation answer different questions: automation manages work; isolation limits reach.
## Evidentiary boundary
“Dedicated,” “private,” and “serverless” are deployment properties, not guarantees of complete isolation. Actual assurance depends on identity policy, network configuration, control-plane access, logging, and provider architecture.
