Enforcement for Oracle License Quotas
Set thresholds for Oracle license usage and Tessell will not allow spawning of additional Oracle instances once the license limits are reached.
Compliance Reports for Oracle License Usage
Integrated reporting to show the entire Oracle Estate along with details of VMs, purpose, and licenses consumed per region, compute type, workload type, or department.

Deployment Architecture
Data Plane @ Customer
The data plane resides in the customer’s Azure tenant. All the databases, snapshots, backups, transaction logs, monitoring metrics, and database logs are stored here.
Bring Your Own Network
Customers can choose to run databases on private networks. There’s no inbound connection from the control plane to the data plane. Only outbound calls to Tessell REST APIs over HTTPS are made from the data plane.
Secure Control Plane
The control plane is hosted on Tessell’s Azure tenant. Only the Tessell GUI and REST APIs are publicly accessible over HTTPS. Everything else runs on a private network. Tessell only keeps the metadata about the managed services here.
Single Sign-On
Securely authenticate your users via SSO (Azure AD). All clients, including the GUI, use REST APIs with revocable tokens.
Security Architecture
Minimum Privileges
Tessell’s access to the data plane adheres to the least privilege model. Tessell restricts its operations to a specific resource group within a specific subscription and is unable to access (read, write, update, or delete) any resources that are not our own.
Operate Within Parameters
Within the workspace that you create for Tessell, you can confine Tessell to using the networks (BYON) and keys (BYOK) of your choice. Tessell can’t create, update or delete any network or key.
