Orchestration is the coordinated execution of multiple IT automation tasks or processes. Orchestration is usually applied across multiple computer systems, applications, and services to ensure that deployment, configuration management, and other processes are performed in the proper sequence. Automation and orchestration are distinct, but related concepts. Automation is the use of software to perform tasks without human intervention, to minimize errors and reduce the time spent manually performing the operations needed to deploy, manage, and scale IT applications and infrastructure.
