December 2025 Summaries

The latest release introduces several new features and enhancements for Tessell's Exadata infrastructure support on AWS, such as effortless database provisioning, database cloning across environments, and unified backup and restore capabilities. Tessell now allows automatic log rotation for Windows services to prevent disk space issues and service failures, with logs automatically rotated at 20MB and older files cleaned up every two hours. Additionally, the update provides SQL Server master users with automatic sysadmin server role access to simplify database management and enhance operational control, aligning with industry-standard DBaaS offerings. Customers will benefit from improved governance through scoped subscription support for the script library, allowing granular access control and operational flexibility. New monitoring metrics for MySQL and InnoDB Cluster services improve detection of database restarts, cluster node health issues, and unexpected read-only states, ensuring better visibility and faster troubleshooting during outages or configuration anomalies.

Tessell has announced support for PostgreSQL versions 17.x and 18.0, alongside improvements in Azure compute capabilities and fixes in monitoring processes. The updates include the ability to resize compute for shared servers in Azure Cloud, ensuring Azure Private Link correctly identifies the primary node after a switchover or failover, and addressing false node down alerts. Additionally, there are corrections for missing alerts in the new monitoring framework for SCP tenants and issues related to missing monitoring infrastructure due to pagination errors on subscriptions. These updates reflect Tessell's ongoing efforts to enhance the robustness and functionality of their database management solutions.
