Azion **Deploy** products are designed to enhance the efficiency of managing edge resources in real time.  

## Orchestrator

[Azion Orchestrator](/en/documentation/products/deploy/orchestrator/) is a versatile system for edge computing innovation, enabling efficient workload deployment, management, and automation across edge networks, on-premises, remote devices, and multi-cloud platforms. Designed to orchestrate your applications and [edge services](/en/documentation/products/deploy/orchestrator/edge-services/) on [edge nodes](/en/documentation/products/deploy/orchestrator/edge-node/) by integrating with Azion's built-in products and features, as well as proprietary or third-party applications, services, or resources.

The system provides robust *end-to-end encryption* and *multi-layer security*, facilitating secure data flow while freeing valuable IT resources. Flexible and adaptable, it can accommodate complex mission-critical environments and is compatible with multiple hardware and network architectures, capable of running natively on the operating system, within containers, or on top of the [Azion Runtime](/en/documentation/runtime/overview/).

An Azion Orchestrator agent is installed on edge nodes and provides end-to-end encrypted remote node management from Azion's platform.

:::note
When the Azion Orchestrator Agent is installed on a device and the device is authorized, it now represents an edge node. A service can be linked to many edge nodes. When a service is updated, it'll automatically be deployed to the edge nodes to which it's related.

### Edge Services

**Azion Edge Services** facilitates resource registration and configuration through Azion's platform, enabling service orchestration on specified edge nodes.

It allows configuration of install, uninstall, and reload triggers, and definition of resource dependencies for edge network service execution.

### Edge Nodes

An edge node is a device that has Azion Orchestrator Agent installed and enables you to create your own edge infrastructure.

Orchestrator allows customers to manage their own edge nodes, independent of the Azion distributed network. To start provisioning applications, it's essential to configure edge nodes.
