+
 Salad's Virtual Kubelet (VK) provider for SaladCloud enables running Kubernetes (K8s) pods as container group deployments.
 
+## How it Works
+
+The SaladCloud Virtual Kubelet Provider creates a _virtual node_ in your K8s cluster.

+</center>
+
+To the K8s API, it looks like a real node. However, when you schedule a pod on the virtual node, a container group deployment is created using the SaladCloud API instead of running the pod on a node in the K8s cluster. The container group deployment runs the pod on a remote, GPU-enabled node on the SaladCloud network.
