Abstract

Examples described herein relate to a centralized workflow management system (CWMS) and a method for managing the deployment and migration of virtual computing instances along a manufacturing line. The manufacturing line hosts a plurality of computing devices such as a first computing device and a second computing device to control operations performed by respective machines. To manufacture a first product, a first orchestration manager hosted in the CWMS deploys a first virtualized computing instance on the first computing device associated with a first stage of a first product manufacturing workflow. Further, upon the first product completing the first stage of the first product manufacturing workflow, the first orchestration manager migrates the first virtualized computing instance from the first computing device to a second computing device associated with a second stage of the first product manufacturing workflow.
