Petnet vs Orchestration Layer

[Cosmodude]

I was researching about Nillion Network a lot recently. Read the documentation and articles.

One of them mentioned the so-called "Orchestration Layer" and had an overview of its architecture. https://nillion.com/news/564/

However, I couldn't find anything about it in the docs. Was it deprecated/refactored?
Otherwise, what's its relation to PetNet?

It looks like the "Coordination Layer" was renamed as the NilChain, so I wonder if Petnet is another name for the "Orchestration Layer"

Thank you!

Hi @Cosmodude, thanks for looking into Nillion.

This is the most up to date information on the architecture with our updated docs
https://docs.nillion.com/learn/architecture

We refer it to PetNet and NilChain

After a discussion with one of the Nillion team members:

The Petnet is just what we call the side of the network that has the clusters that perform PET operations

Orchestration layer is really more of a concept, but it’s the idea of plugging in different PETs together to make the products/modules work

So, the Orchestration Layer kind of emphasizes Petnet's role in uniting PETs.

that's what NIllion AI gave me
