On Cloud Foundry, applications connect to services via a service
marketplace. Each service has a Service Broker, with encapsulates the
logic for creating, managing, and binding services to applications.
Until recently, the only data services that have been allowed were ones
with a network-based connection, such as a SQL database. With Volume
Services, we've added the ability to attach data services that have a
filesystem-based interface.

Currently, we have platform support for **Shared Volumes**. Shared
Volumes are distributed filesystems, such as NFS-based systems, which
allow all instances of an application to share the same mounted volume
simultaneously and access it concurrently.

This feature adds two new concepts to CF: **Volume Mounts** on Service
Brokers and **Volume Drivers** on Diego Cells, which are described
below.
