Comment on Show HN: My first book: Orchestrating Dockerparent

Comments

Serious question .. How does one define orchestration? Openstack heat is an example of an orchestration system as is fig. But I don't think I can define the term clearly.

It's not a simple answer, but http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orchestration_(computing) characterizes it as

* Composing of architecture, tools and processes used by humans to deliver a defined Service.

* Stitching of software and hardware components together to deliver a defined Service.

* Connecting and Automating of work flows when applicable to deliver a defined Service.
