This paper presents ICOS, a meta-operating system designed for the cloud continuum. The paper provides insight into the ICOS architecture, focusing on the Intelligence Layer and highlighting the benefits and functionalities it provides to administrators and users of the edge-to-cloud continuum. It also describes in detail some experimental results to predict the CPU utilization of the nodes that build up the ICOS system. The purpose of this paper is to show the benefits of using ICOS with AI-subsystem and illustrate them through real experiments.
