VMware vCenter Orchestrator is packaged with VMware vCenter Server (standard edition) and supports VMware vSphere. It requires no additional purchase to operate. (Comes for free with vCenter Standard!!!)

vCenter Orchestrator is the product VMware acquired with the acquisition of Dunes. It was then called “Dunes VS-O: Virtual Service Orchestration Software”. VMware’s (now retired) product Lifecycle Manager was built upon vCenter Orchestrator workflow technology.
