# Orchestration

> Run scripts and services securely across devices - centralized, permission-aware, and with no direct access needed

## What is Orchestration?

**Orchestration** is a combination of Cloud.Red features designed to streamline the day-to-day operations of a client’s F5 environment by providing intuitive scripting tools that enable users to automate tasks and delegate work to other teams or team members. Built-in guardrails ensure that delegated actions are performed safely and within defined boundaries.

## Why use Orchestration?

By adopting orchestration, you gain a powerful, yet easy-to-use platform that:

* **Accelerates onboarding and addresses common needs** via access to a growing repository of vetted scripts, enabling teams to immediately leverage reusable automations created by WTIT SME experts.
* **Simplifies execution through an easy to use interface** that removes the need to directly touch devices.
* **Empowers non-expert users to safely complete task** by exposing only parameterized forms (via Form Builder) tailored to each script, complete with conditional logic and validation to guide input.
* **Enforces permissions and boundaries** by controlling which users may execute which scripts on which device groups, ensuring that delegation doesn’t sacrifice security or governance.
* **Delivers full transparency** through a comprehensive audit log, letting you review every task (status, timestamp, platform) and filter results to aid in troubleshooting or compliance reviews.

**In short:** Orchestration lets you scale safe automation across teams, this reduces manual effort, minimizes risk, and delivers comprehensive visibility into all work that has been done or is scheduled to be done.
