摘要
Service orchestration across the edge--cloud continuum increasingly uses language models (LMs) to translate intents and operational evidence into scheduling, configuration, diagnosis, and remediation decisions. Yet, useful model outputs do not by themselves establish dependable orchestration: reliability also depends on where the LM enters the decision process, what authority it is granted, how actions are constrained, and what system-level evidence supports the claimed effect. Existing surveys provide limited synthesis of the links between continuum-specific orchestration decisions, LM responsibility, operational authority, assurance controls, and supporting empirical evidence. We systematically review 39 primary studies and develop a five-dimensional analytical framework for connecting system context, orchestration decisions, LM agency, operational safeguards, and evaluation evidence. The synthesis reveals predominantly hybrid designs in which LMs support interpretation, candidate generation, and mitigation planning, while downstream components commonly retain feasibility enforcement and execution authority. Bounded closed-loop remediation is emerging, but continuum-specific constraints remain unevenly represented in decision formulations, and production-scale evidence across heterogeneous edge--cloud environments remains limited. These findings suggest that reliance on LM-enabled orchestration depends on aligning decision constraints, operational authority, safeguards, and evaluation evidence with the claimed system effect.

Can We Rely on Language Models to Orchestrate Services across the Edge-Cloud Continuum?
Service orchestration across the edge--cloud continuum increasingly uses language models (LMs) to translate intents and operational evidence into scheduling, configuration, diagnosis, and remediation decisions. Yet, useful model outputs do not by themselves establish dependable orchestration: reliability also depends on where the LM enters the decision process, what authority it is granted, how actions are constrained, and what system-level evidence supports the claimed effect. Existing surveys provide limited synthesis of the links between continuum-specific orchestration decisions, LM responsibility, operational authority, assurance controls, and supporting empirical evidence. We systematically review 39 primary studies and develop a five-dimensional analytical framework for connecting system context, orchestration decisions, LM agency, operational safeguards, and evaluation evidence. The synthesis reveals predominantly hybrid designs in which LMs support interpretation, candidate generation, and mitigation planning, while downstream components commonly retain feasibility enforcement and execution authority. Bounded closed-loop remediation is emerging, but continuum-specific constraints remain unevenly represented in decision formulations, and production-scale evidence across heterogeneous edge--cloud environments remains limited. These findings suggest that reliance on LM-enabled orchestration depends on aligning decision constraints, operational authority, safeguards, and evaluation evidence with the claimed system effect.
