of next-generation cloud data centers. Serverless applications are developed as an ecosystem of microservices – called functions – which are loosely coupled and highly scalable. Each function is instantiated in a set of stateless and equivalent containers.
As a result, consecutive invocations of a function from a user can reach different containers, and a container can serve different users. Furthermore, serverless enables a pure pay-per-use pricing model such that users pay for the consumed resources rather
than for the allocated ones.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p>

by pervasively deploying compute nodes over a continuum from the cloud to the network edge, where user devices are. This proximity to the final users paves the way to a plethora of emerging applications (e.g., Internet of Things, Augmented/Virtual Reality,
Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks) having stringent requirements such as low latency, high throughput, and context awareness.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p>

from cloud data centers to the Cloud-to-Edge continuum. On the one hand, serverless opens plenty of opportunities at the edge. For example, it saves energy and compute resources, which can be limited on edge nodes, by letting users share containers and by
automatically deallocating containers after a period of idleness (i.e., scale-to-zero). On the other hand, however, adopting serverless at the edge raises several challenges, which are due to the gap between the cloud-oriented design of serverless and the
peculiar characteristics of edge systems. Some of the research questions in the field
<a name="_Int_U5GN1A81">are:</a> the management of the state of functions; the mitigation of the cold-start effect caused by scaling-to-zero; the execution of long-running workloads such as federated learning; the adaptability of serverless to the wide-area
distribution of edge networks and to the heterogeneity of edge nodes.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p>
