This chapter delves into the adoption and evolution of the CERN Virtual Machine File System (CVMFS) for software distribution in High Performance Computing (HPC) environments, particularly in Canada and Europe. It discusses the collaboration within the community, scalability challenges, and the importance of a unified software stack, while addressing ongoing improvements such as a new compression algorithm. The chapter also emphasizes the need for effective resource management and support for container deployments, alongside avenues for listener engagement.

ENGLISH EDITION: There are a lot of "large" things at CERN, including the amount of data produced and the software needed to manage and analyse them. In this episode I talk to Laura Promberger and Jakob Blomer from the CERN virtual machine/file system VM/VMFS project about how this set of tools is helping researchers.
And not just physicists, as CERN VM/VMFS is also used in other areas of the high performance computing community.
