Orchestration can be viewed as the definition and execution of workflows or processes to manage the completion of a task. In OpenECOMP , orchestration automates the activities, tasks, rules and policies needed for on-demand creation, modification, or removal of network, application or infrastructure services and resources. The Master Service Orchestrator (MSO) manages orchestration at the top level and facilitates additional orchestration that takes place within underlying controllers. It also marshals data between the various controllers so that they have all of the process steps and components needed to complete the required for execution of a task or service are available when needed.
The MSO subsystem runs autonomously within OpenECOMP. Orchestration provides adaptability and flexibility. OpenECOMP's combination of orchestration and policies can be used to create flexible processes that are guided by business and technical policies and driven by process designers.
