As cloud use explodes, it’s important to develop a strategy for orchestrating and automating across all your cloud and non-cloud infrastructure environments. However, the use of the term orchestration has become overloaded and can refer to many different types of tools. Learn about the different types of orchestration automation tools and the role a cloud management platform (CMP) can play as an “orchestrator of orchestrators.”

4. “Automation is concerned with a single task – launching a web
server, configuring a web server, stopping a service.
Orchestration, however, is concerned with automating, if you
will, the execution of a workflow – of a process. A provisioning
process may be comprised of multiple tasks and involve
multiple systems.”

5. “Orchestrating a hybrid set of
infrastructure automation domains
in support of cloud computing
is key for the modern data center.”
With Cloud, Orchestration is Even More Critical
