Standards Development
This document provides an overview of orchestration in a multi-cloud environment. It extends the existing cloud computing reference architecture in ISO/IEC 22123-3 to describe orchestration in a multi-cloud environment.
Cloud Service Customers (CSCs) are increasingly shifting towards Hybrid (Private + Public) and multicloud environments to run their workloads on the best-suited platform for optimum performance and cost-effectiveness. More importantly, they don’t want to cut themselves off from future possibilities by engaging with just one provider. This requires complex management.
This is where multi-cloud orchestration can play a crucial role in managing multi-cloud workload operations efficiently, including infrastructure deployment, load balancing, network issue resolution, and patching. Multi-cloud orchestration, part of multi-cloud management, can automate these critical functions, integrate with the front-end, and complete service catalog requests, ensuring seamless operations from technical to business layers. This approach enhances business value and user experience across platforms by providing end-to-end monitoring, reporting, and logging.
Multi-cloud orchestration optimizes resources, accelerates workflows, and enables governance, benefiting businesses by modernizing applications and improving financial control. It provides administrators with comprehensive access and management capabilities from a single screen, ensuring high data security and compliance with IT governance frameworks. This improves business efficiency by facilitating audit processes and server migrations.
Multi-cloud orchestration can reduce overall costs, accelerate service delivery, and automate complex hybrid environment management. It eliminates provisioning errors and enables self-service provisioning without IT intervention. Through automated management and coordination of cloud resources, orchestration minimizes personnel involvement and potential errors, supporting efficient multi-cloud resource delivery to end users.
