Unlike standard infrastructure automation (which handles individual tasks), orchestration links provisioning, configuration, access control, state management, and monitoring into a single controlled process. Key benefits include seamless management of distributed architectures, enforced security policies via policy-as-code, simplified promotion/approval workflows, and reduced operational complexity. Implementation typically involves IaC, CI/CD pipelines, GitOps, container orchestrators, configuration management tools, observability platforms, and policy-as-code engines. Best practices include leveraging IaC as a foundation, embedding observability and security controls throughout workflows, enabling auto-scaling, and building self-service developer platforms. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
