In this paper we present the results of comparative analysis of tools for the orchestration of containerized services in the edge computing environments. Four orchestration platforms were considered: Kubernetes, KubeEdge, K3s, and ioFog. The emphasis in the conducted evaluation was placed on the possibility of integrating nodes from different (private) networks into a common edge execution environment, and on the possibility of integrating specific scheduling algorithms within the considered platforms. Further details are provided in the paper.
