What is a Platform Orchestrator?

A Platform Orchestrator is a centerpiece of a dynamic Internal Developer Platform, enabling dynamic configuration management and developer self-service while driving standardization by design. It's an alternate approach to static config management, where a "baking machine" reads a Declarative Application Model and generates a representation of the application with its dependent resources, deploying it dynamically. This approach allows developers to focus on workload specifications without dealing with setup details, and enables standardization by design through workload profiles and resource definitions. The orchestrator aggregates data and logs in one place, applies fine-grained Role Based Access Control, and models applications and dependencies through a CLI or API. It's a powerful feature that acts as an API layer, hooking into almost all parts of the delivery chain, allowing for harmonious orchestration of deployments and infrastructure provisioning, and enabling organizations to move away from static setups.
