Data Plane @ Customer
The data plane resides in the customer’s AWS account. 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 AWS account. 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 (Okta, G-Suite, Active Directory). All clients, including the GUI, use REST APIs with revocable tokens.
Security Architecture

Choose either Enterprise Edition or Standard Edition Two based on your environment. Tessell supports all versions and patchsets that are supported by Oracle.
Minimum Privileges
Tessell’s access to the data plane adheres to the least privilege model. Tessell restricts its operations to a specific VPC 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.
