``deis`` is a PaaS.
10+
What is Deis?
11+
-------------
12+
13+
``deis`` is an open source PaaS that makes it easy to deploy
14+
:ref:`container_def`\s and :ref:`node_def`\s used to host applications,
15+
databases, middleware and other services. Deis leverages Chef, Docker and
16+
Heroku Buildpacks to provide a private PaaS that is lightweight and flexible.
17+
18+
Deis comes with out-of-the-box support for Ruby, Python, Node.js, Java,
19+
Clojure, Scala, Play, PHP, Perl, Dart and Go. However, Deis can deploy
20+
*anything* using Heroku Buildpacks, Docker images, or Chef recipes. Deis is
21+
designed to work with any cloud provider, although only EC2 is currently
22+
supported.

You think water moves fast? You should see ice. It moves like it has a mind.
11+
Like it knows it killed the world once and got a taste for murder. After the
12+
avalanche, it took us a week to climb out. Now, I don't know exactly when we
13+
turned on each other, but I know that seven of us survived the slide... and
14+
only five made it out. Now we took an oath, that I'm breaking now. We said
15+
we'd say it was the snow that killed the other two, but it wasn't. Nature is
16+
lethal but it doesn't hold a candle to man.
17+
18+
Your bones don't break, mine do. That's clear. Your cells react to bacteria
19+
and viruses differently than mine. You don't get sick, I do. That's also
20+
clear. But for some reason, you and I react the exact same way to water. We
21+
swallow it too fast, we choke. We get some in our lungs, we drown. However
22+
unreal it may seem, we are connected, you and I. We're on the same curve, just
23+
on opposite ends.

Do you see any Teletubbies in here? Do you see a slender plastic tag clipped
11+
to my shirt with my name printed on it? Do you see a little Asian child with a
12+
blank expression on his face sitting outside on a mechanical helicopter that
13+
shakes when you put quarters in it? No? Well, that's what you see at a toy
14+
store. And you must think you're in a toy store, because you're here shopping
15+
for an infant named Jeb.
16+
17+
Now that we know who you are, I know who I am. I'm not a mistake! It all makes
18+
sense! In a comic, you know how you can tell who the arch-villain's going to
19+
be? He's the exact opposite of the hero. And most times they're friends, like
20+
you and me! I should've known way back when... You know why, David? Because of
21+
the kids. They called me Mr Glass.
