Abstract: The Internet of Things (IoT) has great potential to be adopted by applications covering several smart domains, as it consists of a set of physically linked objects that can be accessed through the internet. Virtualisation techniques play an important role in the field of IoT, especially for provisioning and orchestrating IoT applications to overcome the heterogeneity and diversity of the IoT components and environments that host the applications. Recently, container virtualisation became the preferred technique for IoT applications due to providing execution isolation, portability, lightweight deployment, and reduced design time as compared with hypervisor-based virtualisation. This survey presents a comprehensive study of provisioning and orchestrating the distributed IoT applications in different environments like Edge and Cloud Computing, and how containers can be used proficiently for provisioning and orchestrating IoT applications in these environments.
