Insight Orchestration supports a variety of mechanisms for operating system software deployment. The software can be realized as an image derived from a virtual server, or as deployment software such as an HP ProLiant Essentials Rapid Deployment Pack job. Each subtype represents an approach for offering selectable software that can be installed on a physical or virtual server.
To simplify system software deployment, Insight Orchestration utilizes virtual machine templates, physical Rapid Deployment Pack jobs, and Operations Orchestration workflows.
During provisioning, Insight Orchestration executes associated Operations Orchestration workflows at their respective execution points. After Insight Orchestration processes the request, the resulting service is maintained on a user-by-user basis with a set of physical and virtual resources that reflects the original template design. You can modify a running infrastructure services many ways, including adding servers and data disks.
