CVMFS is a distributed read-only content distribution system, implemented as a POSIX filesystem in user space (FUSE) using HTTP transport. It was originally developed for the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) experiments at CERN to deliver software to virtual machines and to replace diverse shared software installation areas and package management systems at numerous computing sites. It is designed to deliver software in a fast, scalable and reliable fashion, and is now also used to distribute data. The scale of usage across dozens of projects involves ~10<sup>10</sup> files and directories, ~10<sup>2</sup> compute sites, and ~10<sup>5</sup> clients around the world.
