+Once a `WorkloadDeployment` is assigned a location, the compute operator at that location creates the individual Instances. How an edge location turns these Instances into running unikernels — host assignment, networking, and boot via Kraftlet — is documented in [Instance Provisioning via Kraftlet](https://github.com/datum-cloud/unikraft-provider/blob/main/docs/enhancements/instance-provisioning.md) in the unikraft-provider repository.

+The POP cell steps above are summarized from the federation perspective. How an edge location turns these Instances into running unikernels — Kraftlet picking up each Instance, wiring up host networking, booting the unikernel, and reporting status back — is documented in [Instance Provisioning via Kraftlet](https://github.com/datum-cloud/unikraft-provider/blob/main/docs/enhancements/instance-provisioning.md).
