The Orchestration service provides a template-based orchestration engine for the OpenStack cloud, which can be used to create and manage cloud infrastructure resources such as storage, networking, instances, and applications as a repeatable running environment.
Templates are used to create stacks, which are collections of resources. For example, a stack might include instances, floating IPs, volumes, security groups, or users. The Orchestration service offers access to all OpenStack core services via a single modular template, with additional orchestration capabilities such as auto-scaling and basic high availability.
For information about:
Administrative tasks on the command line, see the section called “Launch and manage stacks”.

Note There are no administration-specific tasks that can be done through the dashboard.
The basic creation and deletion of Orchestration stacks, refer to the End User Guide.
