2. Key Functions of Orchestration Layer
Integrates programmatically system functions into automated workflows
Provides libraries of pre-defined workflows to create user-defined workflows
3. API

decisions workflows Infrastructure Release resources
Activites - Assessing - Defining template - Discover assets Service terminate in these scenarios :
requirements - Create workflow - Manging operation - Natural termination
- Developing roadmap - Define offering - Initiated termination
- Establishing - Create contract
