The role of cloud orchestration in IT environments is to automate and manage the provisioning, deployment, and operation of cloud resources. It ensures efficient utilization of cloud services by coordinating between various applications and services to optimize resource allocation. Cloud orchestration helps streamline workflows, improve operational efficiency, and enhance overall management of hybrid and multi-cloud environments. This centralization enables organizations to respond to changes quickly, scale resources as needed, and reduce the complexity involved in managing diverse IT infrastructure.
