Hello Justin
The term “orchestration” can have many different connotations depending on the context used. In general, the term orchestration in ICT refers to the
“automated configuration, coordination, and management of computer systems and software.”
There are other definitions, of course, but this is the general idea. In the context of Kubernetes, orchestration is focused on automating software deployment using docker images or containers. But this is a subset of the more general meaning of orchestration.
There is the concept of network orchestration which is where the vBond device comes in. Network orchestration has to do with the setting up of devices, applications, and services in the network to achieve particular network objectives. It is a single point from which the whole network infrastructure can be configured and managed as a single entity. More info on network orchestration can be found at this Cisco site:
So this is network orchestration, in contrast to server orchestration which is where Kubernetes resides. You can see the distinction between the two.
I hope this has been helpful!
