As inscribed a couple of times in this book, the Cloud phenomenon is really rocking and rewarding. The Cloud idea has penetrated deeply and decisively across. The worldwide enterprises are so keen on embracing the bevy of game-changing Cloud technologies, tools, and tips in order to bring in a variety of rationalization and optimization in their IT environments. The IT product vendors, system integrators, academicians, and research laboratories have been working overtime to bring forth newer products, optimized processes, best practices, architecture, design, deployment, operation and integration patterns, performance-enhancement techniques, state-of-the-art infrastructures, etc., in order to make the Cloud idea viable, venerable, and visible. The emergence of multi-cloud environments is one such innovation in the Cloud landscape. Establishing and managing multi-cloud environments is not without challenges and concerns. Cloud brokerage solutions and services come handy in realizing multi-cloud facilities. Cloud migration solutions and services are being rolled out in order to speed up the process of Cloud adoption. Cloud operations, as enunciated in earlier chapters, are automated through toolsets. Most of the Cloud operations are integrated together in order to facilitate the orchestration. This chapter is specially prepared and presented in order to explain the growing significance of the orchestration capability for efficiently and elegantly operating multi-cloud environments.
