For this service an instance equals a Message VPN on a Solace Virtual Message Router. Creating a service instance gives the user permissions to Manage this Message VPN.

For this service an application binding equals one client username on the service instance Message VPN. Creating a binding gives an application permissions to access this Message VPN.

From CLI using cf

The marketplace can be displayed with the cf marketplace command on the CLI.

Application developers can create an instance of the service with this command cf create-service solace-messaging shared-vmr YOUR_SERVICE_INSTANCE after choosing one of the service plans displayed on the marketplace.

Creating a binding gives an application the information required to have access to a Message VPN.
