Edge computing enables developers to deploy their services on compute resources deployed closer to the users. The abstraction requires powerful orchestration capabilities and the resolution of complex optimization problems. While edge computing is a consistently growing trend, the community (research and industry) still largely embraces adaptations and extensions of existing cloud technologies that have been proven ineffective on edge (e.g. Kubernetes). In this work, we present Oakestra, a novel hierarchical orchestration framework specifically designed for supporting service operation over heterogeneous edge infrastructures. In this demonstration, we showcase the various features and operations of Oakestra using our latency-critical augmented reality (AR) application.
