Orchestration engine facilitating management of dynamic connection components

A computer-implemented method, comprising:

• ranking, by a system operatively coupled to a processor, respective connection components based on one or more attributes of the respective connection components, wherein the respective connection components are executable to establish operative couplings between provisioning components and computing resource components, and the one or more attributes comprise one or more access permission levels defining breadth of access with respect to respective operative couplings between the provisioning components and the computing resource components, and wherein the computing resource components are computing resources of the system employed for execution of workloads, and the provisioning components are executable to configure the computing resource components for the execution of the workloads;
• selecting, by the system, a connection component based on rank;
• executing, by the system, the selected connection component to operatively couple a provisioning component to a computing resource component of a cloud-based computing platform;
• and
• in response to the selected connection component failing to operatively couple the provisioning component to the computing resource component:
• selecting, by the system, a second connection component based on rank, and
• executing, by the system, the second connection component to operatively couple the provisioning component to the computing resource component.

A computer program product facilitating an orchestration engine process, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to:

• rank, by the processor, respective connection components based on one or more attributes of the respective connection components, wherein the respective connection components are executable to establish operative couplings between provisioning components and computing resource components, and the one or more attributes comprise one or more access permission levels defining breadth of access with respect to respective operative couplings between the provisioning components and the computing resource components, and wherein the computing resource components are computing resources of the system employed for execution of workloads, and the provisioning components are executable to configure the computing resource components for the execution of the workloads;
• select, by the processor, a connection component based on rank;
• executing, by the processor, the selected connection component to operatively couple a provisioning component to a computing resource component of a cloud-based computing platform;
• and
• in response to the selected connection component failing to operatively couple the provisioning component to the computing resource component:
• select, by the processor, a second connection component based on rank, and
• execute, by the processor, the second connection component to operatively couple the provisioning component to the computing resource component.
