The problem of managing multi-service applications on top of Cloud-Edge networks in a QoS-aware manner has been thoroughly studied in recent years from a decision-making perspective. However, only a few studies addressed the problem of actively enforcing such decisions while orchestrating multi-service applications and considering infrastructure and application variations. In this article, we propose a next-gen orchestrator prototype based on Docker to achieve the continuous and QoS-compliant management of multiservice applications on top of geographically distributed Cloud-Edge resources, in continuity with CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure monitoring tools. Finally, we assess our proposal over a geographically distributed testbed across Italy.
