Global Server Orchestration for Oracle Fusion SaaS

An orchestration abstraction layer managing the full server lifecycle across 110,000 servers, 20 data centers, and seven regions spanning public cloud, FedRAMP, and private cloud — replacing an operational estate of 60,000 hand-run scripts.

Scale 110,000 servers · 20 data centers · 7 regions · FedRAMP

When enterprise software transitions from shipping installers to operating as a service, the operational debt becomes the product’s gross-margin problem. Oracle Fusion’s legacy reality was a shared filesystem of 60,000 version-specific scripts run by thousands of operators against runbooks. This engagement put change control around that estate — then systematically replaced it.

The full write-up will cover:

  • CI/CD-for-operations: putting human-gated change control around scripts thousands of operators are actively running
  • Why you stabilize the substrate before building the replacement — and what happens when companies do it the other way
  • The orchestration abstraction layer: provisioning, patching, configuration, disaster recovery, decommissioning as one lifecycle
  • Enforcing security and compliance at federal (FedRAMP) scale
  • Co-inventing U.S. Patent #15/681,084 for electronic voting security along the way
