``deis`` is a PaaS.
What is Deis?
-------------

``deis`` is an open source PaaS that makes it easy to deploy
:ref:`container_def`\s and :ref:`node_def`\s used to host applications,
databases, middleware and other services. Deis leverages Chef, Docker 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, Scala, Play, PHP, Perl, Dart and Go. However, Deis can deploy
*anything* using Heroku Buildpacks, Docker images, or Chef recipes. Deis is
designed to work with any cloud provider, although only EC2 is currently
supported.

You think water moves fast? You should see ice. It moves like it has a mind.
Like it knows it killed the world once and got a taste for murder. After the
avalanche, it took us a week to climb out. Now, I don't know exactly when we
turned on each other, but I know that seven of us survived the slide... and
only five made it out. Now we took an oath, that I'm breaking now. We said
we'd say it was the snow that killed the other two, but it wasn't. Nature is
lethal but it doesn't hold a candle to man.

Your bones don't break, mine do. That's clear. Your cells react to bacteria
and viruses differently than mine. You don't get sick, I do. That's also
clear. But for some reason, you and I react the exact same way to water. We
swallow it too fast, we choke. We get some in our lungs, we drown. However
unreal it may seem, we are connected, you and I. We're on the same curve, just
on opposite ends.

Chef Node
=========

Do you see any Teletubbies in here? Do you see a slender plastic tag clipped
to my shirt with my name printed on it? Do you see a little Asian child with a
blank expression on his face sitting outside on a mechanical helicopter that
shakes when you put quarters in it? No? Well, that's what you see at a toy
store. And you must think you're in a toy store, because you're here shopping
for an infant named Jeb.

Now that we know who you are, I know who I am. I'm not a mistake! It all makes
sense! In a comic, you know how you can tell who the arch-villain's going to
be? He's the exact opposite of the hero. And most times they're friends, like
you and me! I should've known way back when... You know why, David? Because of
the kids. They called me Mr Glass.
