IaaS based Private Cloud Features Compatible with AWS Public Cloud - Part 3

Now, we will take look at most important part of Cloud Computing called Orchestration.

10. Orchestration

Before going technical terminology, let's see its simple meaning. In general, it is very rare that one would say I've never heard of word Orchestra. What does it mean? It's a group of instrumentalists, especially one combining string, woodwind, brass and percussion sections. 

What makes it important is their combination and coordination. Without it, neither there will be fine tuned music nor they can play any song.

Similar, in cloud computing, Orchestration is the component and service which helps to manage and scale all the components external and internal to the Cloud system so that they can co-ordinate and communicate with each other effectively ensuring smooth running of operations.

For me, that's all about what cloud components are ! I would go for table in brief which will compare the cloud components in context with AWS Public Cloud:

Cloud Services	AWS	Eucalyptus	Openstack	Cloudstack*
Identity & Access Management	IAM	CLC	keystone	CloudStack management server
Compute	Internally	NC	Nova	CloudStack agent
Object Storage	S3	Walrus	Swift	--
Block Storage	EBS	SC	Cinder	--
Networking	VPC, Direct Connect	CC (works with other Components)	Neutron,Nova	--
Image	Internally	CLC	Glance	--
Database	RDS, Dynamo DB, SimpleDB	None	Trove	--
Billing/Logging	CloudWatch	CloudWatch	Ceilometer	CloudStack usage monitor
Load Balancing	ELB	ELB	Neutron	CloudStack management server
Autoscaling	Autoscaling	Autoscaling	Heat	CloudStack management server
Orchestration	Internally	CLC	Heat	CloudStack management server
