Orchestration tools (Birkman, 2016) are designed to deploy instances. Popular choices for orchestration tools are Terraform, Spinnaker, and CloudFormation. These types of tools are useful with large-scale Cassandra deployments, as they can allow for quick remediation of availability issues, through the approach of immutable deployments (Birkman 2016).
Additionally, these tools allow DBAs the ability to scale up quickly, as well as providing intrinsic management of availability zones. With these tools, adding a new node to a cluster can be as simple as clicking a button.
