        SteamCannon is the cloud-aware PaaS broker that sits
        between you and a stack of IaaS resources, such as Amazon EC2.
  
      %p
        SteamCannon helps stand up individual PaaS environments
        to match your own needs and workflows.  With a few simple clicks,
        you can configure a new Java or Ruby platform, and deploy your
        applications to it.
