In system administration, orchestration is the automated configuration, coordination, and management of computer systems and software.[1]

A number of tools exist for automation of server configuration and management, including Ansible, Puppet, Salt, Terraform,[2] and AWS CloudFormation.[3] In the context of software containers, systems like Kubernetes are commonly used to dynamically deploy and manage service based distributed applications. [4]

Usage

Orchestration is often discussed in the context of service-oriented architecture, virtualization, provisioning, converged infrastructure and dynamic datacenter topics. Orchestration in this sense is about aligning the business request with the applications, data, and infrastructure.[5]

In the context of cloud computing, the main difference between workflow automation and orchestration is that workflows are processed and completed as processes within a single domain for automation purposes, whereas orchestration includes a workflow and provides a directed action towards larger goals and objectives.[1]

In this context, and with the overall aim to achieve specific goals and objectives (described through quality of service parameters), for example, meet application performance goals using minimized cost[6] and maximize application performance within budget constraints.[7]
