We expect this tutorial to be most valuable to people who are interested in using or providing access to one or more existing
CernVM-FS repositories that provide a common software stack that can be used on HPC systems (and beyond).

The tutorial will start by introducing CernVM-FS, explaining what it is exactly, and what it is mainly used for
(world-wide distribution of software installations). The main features that CernVM-FS provides will be covered in detail,
specifically in the context of HPC, including:
\begin{itemize}
\item Automatic and transparent on-demand downloading of repository contents;
\item Automatic updating of repository contents as new software installations get added;
\item Multi-level caching, to improve start-up performance of software;
\item De-duplication of files and compression of data, which help with reducing the required storage space and network traffic;
\item Automatic verification of the integrity of repository contents that are downloaded on-demand;
