I'm not really sure I completely understand the question, but I'll give it
a shot.

There are multiple ways to generate an outbound call in Asterisk. All of
these, eventually, map to the same operation: Originate. You can:
* Use a call file, which is a text file placed in a particular location
that has a specific formatting. Asterisk will monitor that location, read
the file, parse it, originate an outbound call, and then typically discard
the file.
* Use the AMI Originate action.
* Use the ARI POST /channels operation.
* Use the Originate dialplan application.
* Use the CLI "channel originate" command.

Which one you use depends on your application. Generally, if you are
creating many outbound calls and you need to monitor the calls closely, the
AMI or ARI options are more attractive, as they give you more information
and more control over the call. If you need to control the outbound call in
an application of your design, than ARI is more attractive than AMI. If you
need to have little external control over a call, than a call file solution
may be appropriate.

In the end, it is up to you and what you are trying to build.
