Why use the New Orchestrator?

The New Orchestrator offers a flexible orchestration layer and single source of truth, like a USB hub for platform engineering. The live Resource Graph and rule-based automation allow safe reuse of patterns and enforcement of standards across teams.

This leads to faster delivery, reduced manual toil, and greater consistency across environments. Platform teams focus on value, developers move faster, and the business benefits from better governance, security, and cost efficiency.

Advantages of using the Orchestrator #

Super fast self service for developers. They may previously have faced slow, ticket-based provisioning, config drift, and fragmented tooling, resulting in poor visibility and long lead times. Security approvals and inconsistent setups further blocked developers and frustrated platform teams. The Orchestrator lets developers autonomously deploy in minutes, not days, while adhering to the standards curated by your platform engineers.

One way to provision infra regardless of where it’s running. The Orchestrator is the technical single point of contact for deploying workloads and/or all required infrastructure resources, regardless of your cloud and choice of compute. Developers use just one way of requesting infra, whether working from local, a CDE, or out of their CI/CD pipelines.

A place to track who provisioned what. The Orchestrator keeps a history of all deployments, providing an audit trail of changes across your estate. You can easily promote changes from one environment to the next, and rollback to previous versions in hotfix or incident scenarios.

Enforce policies automatically. The Orchestrator ends the practice of each team provisioning infrastructure differently, which tends to compromise security and drive cost through overprovisioning. The Orchestrator helps ensure that only policy compliant, right-sized resources are provisioned, and can automate time-consuming access management setups to ensure least privilege is followed.
