 The best way to distribute large scientific datasets is via the Cloud, in [Cloud-Optimized formats](https://guide.cloudnativegeo.org/) [^1]. But often this data is stuck in legacy pre-Cloud file formats such as netCDF.

 ### Development Status and Roadmap
 
 VirtualiZarr version 1 (mostly) achieves [feature parity](https://virtualizarr.readthedocs.io/en/latest/faq.html#how-do-virtualizarr-and-kerchunk-compare) with kerchunk's logic for combining datasets, providing an easier way to manipulate kerchunk references in memory and generate kerchunk reference files on disk.
