Odysseus Documentation
Welcome to the Odysseus documentation. Odysseus is a fully managed container orchestration platform delivered as a service by Delta Telematics. You sign up, connect your servers, and deploy containers -- we run the control plane, handle upgrades, and keep the orchestration layer available so you can focus on your applications.
There is nothing to install on the control-plane side. The dashboard, scheduling engine, and AI assistant all run on Delta Telematics infrastructure. The only component that runs on your servers is a lightweight agent, installed with a single command.

Key Capabilities
- Declarative Deployments -- Define your applications in YAML or use the dashboard form, and Odysseus handles scheduling, health monitoring, and automatic recovery across your nodes.
- Autoscaling -- Scale replicas up and down based on real-time CPU and memory metrics, evaluated every 15 seconds, with configurable min/max boundaries.
- Canary Releases -- Gradually shift traffic to a new version, monitor error rates and latency in real time, and auto-promote or auto-rollback based on health thresholds.
- Athena AI Assistant -- A conversational AI built into the dashboard that can query system state, diagnose problems, and execute operations using natural language. 60+ tool operations across every platform capability, scoped by your RBAC role.
- CVE Scanning -- Scan container images for known vulnerabilities before and after deployment. Dual-engine scanning with severity-based deployment policies to block unsafe images.
- SRE Automation -- Automatic incident detection for crashes, OOM kills, restart loops, and resource exhaustion, with configurable auto-remediation actions and a full incident audit trail.
- Secrets Management -- Enterprise-grade secret storage with injection via RAM-backed filesystems. Secrets are never written to disk or exposed in environment variables. Automatic rotation with zero-downtime restarts.
- RBAC and Access Control -- Four built-in roles (Admin, Operator, Developer, Read-only) with JWT authentication and mTLS between components.
- Audit Logging -- Every action produces a tamper-evident audit record capturing who did what, when, and the outcome. Queryable via the dashboard for compliance reporting.
Using Odysseus
All platform capabilities are accessible through the Dashboard -- the web UI at odysseus.delta-telematics.dev. It provides visual management of nodes, deployments, containers, logs, incidents, CVE scans, and the Athena AI chat panel. No installation required -- just sign in from any modern browser.
