However, orchestrating serverless workloads across the edge-cloud continuum presents challenges, from managing heterogeneous resources to ensuring low-latency execution and maintaining fault tolerance and scalability. These challenges intensify when scaling from lightweight functions to compute-intensive tasks such as large language model (LLM) inferences in distributed environments. This tutorial explores serverless computing\u2019s evolution from small functions to large-scale AI workloads. It introduces foundational concepts like Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) and Backend-as-a-Service (BaaS) before covering advanced edge-cloud orchestration strategies. Topics include dynamic workload distribution, multi-objective scheduling, energy-efficient orchestration, and deploying functions with diverse computational requirments. Hands-on demonstrations with Kubernetes, GCP Functions, AWS Lambda, OpenFaaS, OpenWhisk, and monitoring tools provide participants with practical insights into optimizing performance and energy efficiency in serverless orchestration across distributed infrastructures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are happy to announce that our tutorial \u201cServerless Orchestration on the Edge-Cloud Continuum: From Small Functions to Large Language Models\u201d (by Reza Farahani and Radu Prodan) has been accepted for&nbsp;IEEE ICDCS&nbsp;2025, which will take place in Glasgow, Scotland, UK, in July 2025.
