h1. Introduction
This tutorial covers deploying an ICEfaces application to Micro Cloud Foundry and Cloud Foundry. Cloud Foundry is described by VMware, Inc. as:
{panel}_"Cloud Foundry is an open platform as a service, providing a choice of clouds, developer frameworks and application services. Initiated by VMware, with broad industry support, Cloud Foundry makes it faster and easier to build, test, deploy and scale applications. It is an open source project and is available through a variety of private cloud distributions and public cloud instances, including CloudFoundry.com."_{panel}Optionally, the developer can utilize Micro Cloud Foundry as well, which is described by VMware, Inc. as:
{panel}
_"Micro Cloud Foundry provides the VMware open platform as a service in a standalone environment running in a virtual machine. It is a self-contained local development environment as similar as possible to the Cloud Foundry cloud, making application development for the cloud and the transition from development to production much more seamless."_{panel}
