# Protecting Amazon EC2 Instances in Multi-Tenant Environments

You can use Commvault to protect multi-tenanted Amazon EC2 instances using the Commvault-hosted infrastructure.

## Using Resources from an AWS Service Account

In a Commvault-hosted environment, you can configure an Amazon EC2 hypervisor that represents a separate service account for data protection operations.

This approach provides the following benefits:

- Reduces the impact of backup operations and restore operations on tenant production accounts

- Minimizes the configuration required for tenant accounts

- Eliminates the need for tenants to deploy access nodes and MediaAgents in AWS, reducing tenant costs

- Hides backup infrastructure from tenants

By using this feature, tenants in a managed services environment can access resources that are provided by a managed service provider (MSP) to support data protection operations. Similarly, groups within an organization can access shared resources from an AWS service account that provides infrastructure for data protection.
