====

**Deis** is an open source *platform-as-a-service* (PaaS) for public and
private clouds.

Take your agile development to the next level. Free your mind and focus
on your code. Deploy updates to local metal or worldwide clouds with
``git push``. Scale servers, processes, and proxies with a simple
command. Enjoy the *twelve-factor app* workflow while keeping total
control.

The `opdemand/deis <https://github.com/opdemand/deis>`__ project
contains a command-line interface to the **Deis** system. It's all you
need to work with an existing **Deis** controller. To set up your own
private application platform, the
`deis-controller <https://github.com/opdemand/deis-controller>`__ and
`deis-chef <https://github.com/opdemand/deis-chef>`__ projects are also
required.
