rhc create-app p1 php-5.3
2. Change application code, commit and push, app will be deployed and a deploy id will be returned to end user
3. Deploy the app again via rest api, same deploy id is applied to the app
curl -s -k -H 'Content-Type: Application/json' --user jhou:x https://ec2-184-72-155-218.compute-1.amazonaws.com/broker/rest/domain/jhou/application/p1/deployments -X POST
4. Change application codes, commit and push again
