This comic-style guide follows a fictional federal agency under a DOGE-style mandate to migrate 247 Oracle databases to Azure in 270 days, securely and with zero downtime. It walks through how Tessell handles federal Oracle on Azure deployments via Azure Marketplace, covering compliance, security, migration, HA/DR, cost, and day-2 operations through conversations between the agency's DBA, security officer, budget analyst, and the Tessell team.
What is inside
The Hosted Control Plane (HCP) model, where Tessell deploys entirely within your Azure subscription and identity tenant so you inherit FedRAMP compliance with no separate Tessell certification
BYOK encryption, zero-trust architecture, and data sovereignty controls aligned with NIST 800-53 and FISMA requirements
Multi-AZ HA across Azure data centers and two DR options, including one-click cross-region failover
Auto-Mask for sensitive data, point-in-time recovery, and policy-driven automated backups built for audit
AI rightsizing, NVMe storage with millions of IOPS, automated patching, and self-service provisioning through portal, API, or voice (CODAM)
Native integration with Terraform, ServiceNow, and Oracle Enterprise Manager, root OS access, 24/7 support with a 15-minute SLA, and procurement through Azure Marketplace
Who is this for
Federal IT leaders, DBAs, and security or compliance officers planning Oracle to Azure migrations under tight timelines and federal compliance requirements. The guide walks through migration, security, HA and DR, cost, and day-2 operations in a story format. Best used to frame internal conversations on timelines, compliance, and budget. It does not replace FedRAMP documentation or a security assessment.
