Edge/Fog computing complements nowadays powerful centralized approach leveraging datacenters resources with a number of distributed fog nodes with relatively capable resources in order to provide advanced services in proximity to end users and data sources. In fact, this emerging paradigm provides ubiquitous processing abilities through scattered heterogeneous hardware with different energy availability and computational capabilities. This paper aims at presenting an extension of an IoT centric infrastructure Cloud framework, named Stack4Things, towards the edge through an integration with two of the OpenStack subsystems (i.e., Zun and Kuryr) that deal with containers management.}, keywords = {Application development, Cloud, cloud computing, computer centres, container management, container-based fog computing, containerization technologies, containers, datacenter resources, distributed fog nodes, distributing software, Ecosystems, Edge/Fog computing, Internet of Things, IoT, IoT centric infrastructure cloud framework, Kuryr, Neutrons, OpenStack, OpenStack subsystems, operating system-level virtualization, Servers, software management, ubiquitous processing abilities, virtualisation, Virtualization, Zun}, doi = {10.1109/iThings/GreenCom/CPSCom/SmartData.2019.00181}, author = {Zakaria Benomar and F.
