ORK is the orchestrator at the centre of the Tetsuo SOL MK-VIII pipeline.

Every other component runs as a persistent service that ORK controls through their restful API.

ORK also provides a service status dashboard for overall distributed system health, and a jobs system for any tasks any of the components may be running.

Jobs are assigned to components and then tracked by ORK. While components do not interact directly, there are many functions that ORK acts as an API gateway for so that components can integrate each other's data and inform one another.
