Cloud engineering
In the same line of ITSM, the application of an engineering approach on cloud infrastructures 
helped the clients and system administrators to integrate better and manage their day-to-day 
business.
Cloud engineering focuses on cloud services, such as SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS. It is a 
multidisciplinary method that includes the foundation of cloud, implementation, cloud 
development-delivery lifecycle, and management. 
An orchestrator normally includes a range of technologies, products, and components, as 
shown in Figure 2-4.
