Containerization

Containerization offers new avenues of efficiency, making it possible to deploy capacity or updates for a given service without disrupting the rest of the server. The drawback is that the containers and their management is quite complex. Odyssey workflows can process the overhead of container dependencies and cluster information.

An Odyssey workflow orchestrates popular containerization software like Docker to perform container management for starting, stopping and updating the individual containers. This both adds accuracy and consistency to the processes, but also makes it possible to add security to workflows. The capability can be exposed to the right service personnel, without opening unrestricted access to the server to those same people.

Odyssey can centrally manage both the configuration data for the container, as well as data used by the containerized application. This makes it easy to keep track of data changes in a consistent manner.

Odyssey build scripts can create and publish the containerized versions of the apps, coordinating all the dependencies, reducing complex processes to moments of user interactions.
