Orchestrating resources in a multilayer computing environment by sending an orchestration message between layers

A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having stored thereon:

• first instructions executable by a device to cause the device to receive an operation to perform across a multilayer computing environment;
• second instructions executable by the device to cause the device to generate a message for performing the operation across the multilayer computing environment, wherein the message includes a plurality of layer portions, wherein each layer portion corresponds to a respective layer in the multilayer computing environment and includes computer program instructions for performing a set of sub-operation(s) of the operation;
• and
• third instructions executable by the device to cause the device to orchestrate performance of the operation by sending the message between layers in the multilayer computing environment, wherein when the message is located at a respective layer, the layer performs its respective set of sub-operation(s) according to the computer program instructions included in the layer's respectively corresponding layer portion of the message.

A computer system comprising:

• a processor(s) set;
• and
• a computer readable storage medium;
• wherein:
• the processor set is structured, located, connected and/or programmed to execute instructions stored on the computer readable storage medium;
• and
• the instructions include:
• first instructions executable by the processor set to cause the system to receive an operation to perform across a multilayer computing environment;
• second instructions executable by the processor set to cause the system to generate a message for performing the operation across the multilayer computing environment, wherein the message includes a plurality of layer portions, wherein each layer portion corresponds to a respective layer in the multilayer computing environment and includes computer program instructions for performing a set of sub-operation(s) of the operation;
• and
• third instructions executable the processor set to cause the system to orchestrate performance of the operation by sending the message between layers in the multilayer computing environment, wherein when the message is located at a respective layer, the layer performs its respective set of sub-operation(s) according to the computer program instructions included in the layer's respectively corresponding layer portion of the message.
