Orchestration describes the automated arrangement, coordination, and management of complex computer systems, middleware, and services.

It is often discussed as having an inherent intelligence or even implicitly autonomic control, but those are largely aspirations or analogies rather than technical descriptions. In reality, orchestration is largely the effect of automation or systems deploying elements of control theory.

This usage of orchestration is often discussed in the context of Service Oriented Architecture, virtualization, provisioning, and dynamic datacenter topics. It is often used as a buzzword.

A somewhat different usage relates to the process of coordinating an exchange of information through web service interactions. (See also service-oriented architecture, and Web Service Choreography). Applications which decouple the orchestration layer from the service layer are sometimes called agile applications.

Some texts make a difference between orchestration and choreography.
