Next-gen computing paradigms foresee deploying applications to virtualised resources along a continuum of Cloud-Edge nodes. Much literature focussed on how to place applications onto such resources so as to meet their requirements. To lease resources to application operators, infrastructure providers need to identify a portion of their Cloud-Edge assets to meet set requirements. This article proposes a novel declarative resource selection strategy prototyped in Prolog to determine a suitable infrastructure portion that satisfies all requirements. The proposal is showcased over a lifelike scenario.
