10. Why Orchestration?
● Design, Deliver, and Operate end
to end services in an automated
matter
● Connecting the different parts of
the service and processes
making the everything work
together
● Orchestration = taking existing
process and makes them work
better, faster and with less
errors

11. Benefits of TOSCA Based Orchestration
● TOSCA for onboarding and Orchestration
● TOSCA is an open standard
● Support for service composition
● Future Proof
