+### Overview of deployed project
+When deploying the system, the following diagram shows how the system operates. `PyTorchJob`s are launched by the 
+Orchestrator (see the [Orchestrator charts](./charts/orchestrator)). The Extractor keeps track of progress (see the 
+[Extractor charts](./charts/extractor)).
+
+The `PyTorchJob`s can consist on a variable number of machines, with different hardware for the Master/Leader node and the
+Client nodes. KubeFlow (not depicted) orchestrates the deployment of the `PyTorchJob`s.
