====== Orchestration of services and tools in a Cloud Computing environment ======

Besides using a single VM running separately in a Cloud infrastructure specialised orchestration frameworks can be used to start a variety of services (e.g. file server, database server) or even a larger number of identical computing nodes in a synchronised manner automatically. 

The [[https://wiki.cebitec.uni-bielefeld.de/bibiserv-1.25.2/index.php/BiBiGrid|BiBiGrid Framework]] developed within the BiGi node of the de.NBI network provides a convenient way for highly configurable Cloud computing setups. 

Furthermore, Canonicals [[JuJu]] provide easy deployment of services and cloud infrastructure on a software layer, i.e. software as a service (SaaS).
