What is Deis?
-------------

Deis is an open source *Platform-as-a-Service* (PaaS) inspired by Heroku that
makes it easy to deploy and scale LXC containers used to host applications,
databases, middleware and other services. Deis leverages Docker, Chef and
Heroku Buildpacks to provide a private PaaS that is lightweight and flexible.

Deis comes with out-of-the-box support for Ruby, Python, Node.js, Java,
Clojure, PHP, Dart and Go. However, Deis can deploy *anything* using Heroku
Buildpacks or pre-built Docker images.  Containers can be deployed to any
cloud provider, although only EC2 is currently supported.

Why Deis?
=========

Deploy anything
---------------

Leverage Heroku Buildpacks to deploy a wide range of languages and frameworks
with a simple "git push" or create custom Docker images to deploy pre-built
apps, databases and other services.

Control everything
------------------

Choose your hosting providers. Define your application formations. Scale
nodes and containers independently. Control your routing layer. Manage the
entire platform with a private Deis controller.

Scale effortlessly
------------------

Scale nodes, containers and proxies with a single command. Node provisioning is
transparent, container formations are rebalanced automatically and proxies are
updated to re-route traffic without downtime.

100% Open Source
----------------

Free, transparent and easily customized.  Join the open-source PaaS and DevOps
community by using Deis and complimentary projects like Docker, Chef and
Heroku Buildpacks.

Getting Started
---------------

Installing the Deis client from the Python Package Index is simple:

::

    $ pip install deis

The client will automatically install the following dependencies:

-  `pyyaml <https://bitbucket.org/xi/pyyaml>`__
-  `requests <http://python-requests.org>`__
