IoT is characterized by its diversity and heterogeneity with respect to the hardware and software components which shape its systems. This in effect would stress the delivery and upgrading phase of hardware components and their corresponding software elements. In addition, these devices are continuously producing data and transmitting it to advanced-processing central cloud systems, with billions of devices anticipated to be linked in the coming years, which will affect network performance. A recent trend to mitigate this issue is to process these data locally close to their origins at the edge of the network. However, edge devices are likely to be resource-constrained which restricts their ability to perform processing tasks in some cases. This work is part of the effort to provide a solution to enable effective resource management at the edge devices and facilitate the deployment and updating of heterogeneous software modules. The solution proposed is based on containers which are a lightweight virtualization technology. It takes advantage of some container concepts, particularly the concept of orchestration, to allow for task forwarding and resource sharing within the same cluster between IoT gateway devices. Our experimentation showed promising results and revealed the potential of the existing platforms for virtualisation.
