    I am looking for some feedback on the common orchestration layer for Telecom and IT cloud. To me, this is quite the hot topic... do you agree?

    It is very difficult in current industry since all the suppliers and partners who are involved in orchestration process not following the common process and system.It will be a biggest challenge to maintain the life cycle of the entities across the multiple system so reconciliation will take place always but that will not be 100% accurate.

    Hi, orchestration a key success topic for Telco cloudification transformation and workload automate from end to end perspetive is not an option is a must have to create a successful transformation for Telco Industry  otherwise it be a failure as we are introducing a new technologies, brinking  higher cost and adding more complexity to the network and if we don't change  the way the are operating the network the game will be over and this is among the transformation failure reasons.
    I developed a complete framework for Telco transformation adreesing (strategy & business, operation &support , Technology, Skills & organizarion ) which is not a direct path BUT a complete journey with intermediate steps according to AS-IS situation and OpCo strategy  moving forward  to digitilization.
    In fact we have to see NFV/SDN/Cloud as service enablers allowing OpCo to act with flexible and agile way and reducing TTM. 
    Orchestration is not yet mature in Telco Industry and in my point of view (ECOMP--》 ONAP) project is the right approch addressing this topic as it is build by OpCo to OpCo and you can read more about  AT&T initiative for better more understanding regarding challenges & opportunities.
    In addition OpCo architecture  standardization is mandatory to build different blocks aligned wirh company strategy and based in best in class experiences and this is including all layers (NFVI-VIM-MANO) and their components  (storage,compute,networking,hypervisor,storage virtualization,network vitualization,CMP) and orshestrator as upper layer for any applications As having an orshestrator per NFV application vendor is not an option.
