The Deis client is a Python CLI that issues API calls to a private Deis controller, providing a Heroku-inspired PaaS workflow.
Deis is an open source PaaS that makes it easy to deploy and scale LXC containers and Chef nodes 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. Currently Amazon EC2 and Rackspace Cloud are supported.
Deploy a wide range of languages and frameworks with a simple git push using Heroku Buildpacks or Dockerfiles. Use custom Chef layers to deploy databases, middleware and other add-on services.
Choose your hosting provider configuration. Define a formation with your own proxy and runtime layers. Retain full root access to every node. Manage your platform with a private Deis controller.
Scale nodes and containers with a single command. Node provisioning, container balancing and proxy reconfiguration are completely automated.
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.
Installing the Deis client using pip is simple:
$ pip install deis
pip will automatically install the following dependencies:
You should know the fully-qualified domain name of an existing Deis controller. To set up a Deis controller, see the Installation documentation.
Registration will discover SSH keys automatically and use the standard environment variables to configure the EC2 provider.

Change into the application directory and use deis formations:create to
initialize a new formation in a specific cloud region. For example:
$ deis formations:create dev1 --flavor=rackspace-dfwUse the deis nodes:scale command to provision nodes that will be
dedicated to this formation.
Then create an application that references the formation.
$ cd <my-application-repo>
$ deis create --formation=dev1
