What Is Calibo Accelerate Orchestrator Agent?

Calibo Accelerate Orchestrator Agent is a set of four REST API-based microservices that runs in your cloud account. To connect to tools and technologies in your private environment, REST API requests are sent from the Calibo Accelerate platform. Calibo Accelerate Orchestrator Agent responds to these REST API calls and connects to your secrets management tool, where you store the credentials for the tools and technologies deployed in your private environment. The agent resolves the secrets (credentials) and establishes a secure connection between the tools and the Calibo Accelerate platform. In this entire process, tools' credentials are never shared with the platform.
