In computing, orchestration refers to the automated configuration, coordination, and management of computer systems, middleware, and services. It involves defining workflows and policies to deploy, manage, and scale applications and infrastructure across multiple resources, often in complex, distributed environments like cloud computing or microservices architectures.

Orchestration is crucial for managing the complexity of modern IT environments. It streamlines operations, reduces manual errors, and improves efficiency by automating the deployment and management of vast numbers of interconnected components. This leads to faster deployments, more reliable systems, and better resource utilization, particularly important for DevOps practices and cloud-native application development.
