  The Athena Platform aims to replace, upgrade and modernise the capabilities of Diamond Light Source’s acquisition and controls tools, providing an environment for better integration with information management and analysis functionality. It is a service-based experiment orchestration system built on top of NSLS-II’s Python based Bluesky/Ophyd data collection framework, providing a managed and extensible software deployment local to the beamline. By using industry standard infrastructure provision, security and interface technologies we hope to provide a sufficiently flexible and adaptable platform, to meet the wide spectrum of science use cases and beamline operation models in a reliable and maintainable way. In addition to a system design overview, we describe here some initial test deployments of core capabilities to a number of Diamond beamlines, as well as some of the technologies developed to support the overall delivery of the platform.
