| While virtual references are fully supported in Icechunk, creating virtual datasets relies on using experimental or pre-release versions of open source tools. For full instructions on how to install the required tools and ther current statuses [see the tracking issue on Github](https://github.com/earth-mover/icechunk/issues/197). | ||

| To create virtual Icechunk datasets with python, we utilize the [kerchunk](https://fsspec.github.io/kerchunk/) and [VirtualiZarr](https://virtualizarr.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) packages. `kerchunk` allows us to extract virtual references from existing data files, and `VirtualiZarr` allows us to use `xarray` to combine these extracted virtual references into full blown datasets. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Whilst it's true that kerchunk is (currently) being used under the hood by virtualizarr.open_virtual_dataset, it might just be confusing to mention kerchunk here. It doesn't appear at all in user code in this tutorial, so it's basically an implementation detail. Kerchunk is still mentioned in the icechunk FAQ as an inspiration, as well as in the virtualizarr docs.
