Abstract
A system is provided for employing an orchestrator to deploy and implement changes to a system. A change request may be a system build, upgrade, and patches for updating a subset of files within the system. The orchestrator may initially perform a security check and a validation check on a received change request. Upon receiving validation and approval, the change request may be deployed and propagated through a series of deployment scopes. The deployment scopes may become increasingly larger to extensively test the applied change before fully implementing the change on the target system. The orchestrator may submit the applied change to a validation component for getting validation of the change within the deployment scope after each applied change within a deployment scope. After the change request has been deployed through the deployment scopes and validated, the change request may be deployed to the target system and fully implemented.
