+=================
+ Ceph Filesystem
+=================
+
+The :term:`Ceph Filesystem` (Ceph FS) is a POSIX-compliant filesystem that uses
+a Ceph Storage Cluster to store its data. The Ceph filesystem uses the same Ceph
+Storage Cluster system as Ceph Block Devices, Ceph Object Storage with its S3
+and Swift APIs, or native bindings (librados).
+
+.. note:: If you are evaluating CephFS for the first time, please review
+          the best practices for deployment: :doc:`/cephfs/best-practices`

+Using CephFS
+============
+
+Using the Ceph Filesystem requires at least one :term:`Ceph Metadata Server` in
+your Ceph Storage Cluster.

+
+To run the Ceph Filesystem, you must have a running Ceph Storage Cluster with at
+least one :term:`Ceph Metadata Server` running.

+
+Once you have a healthy Ceph Storage Cluster with at least
+one Ceph Metadata Server, you may create and mount your Ceph Filesystem.
+Ensure that you client has network connectivity and the proper
+authentication keyring.
