Cloud orchestration refers to the management and coordination of various cloud services and resources to automate processes and streamline workflows within cloud computing environments. It enables the integration of multiple services, such as storage, networks, and computing power, to create a cohesive system that responds dynamically to workload demands. Through orchestration, administrators can deploy, manage, and scale applications more efficiently, leading to optimal resource utilization and reduced operational costs. It plays a critical role in ensuring that different cloud components work synchronously.
