BOSH Links: Why and How

Audience: anyone in the BOSH ecosystem, whether you work on something open-source or proprietary

"BOSH Links" is a feature which simplifies how data is shared between BOSH-deployed jobs that need to collaborate with one another (e.g. a web server and its backing database).
