You will also be able to monitor and control the deployment process, and view your application logs in the Services tool window.

1. Press Ctrl+Alt+S to open the IDE settings and select Plugins.

2. On the Marketplace tab, search for the Cloud Foundry plugin.

3. Install the cloud plugin and restart the IDE if prompted.

Deploy artifacts to the cloud

1. Sign up for a user account at the cloud service provider website.

2. Make sure that the Cloud Foundry plugin is installed and enabled.

   For more information, see Enable cloud support.

3. Register your cloud user account in IntelliJ IDEA.

   In the Settings dialog (Ctrl+Alt+S), select Build, Execution, Deployment | Cloud Foundry and click to add a cloud provider account.

   Specify the cloud account credentials and click OK to save the changes.

   For information about cloud user account settings, see Cloud Foundry.

4. Create an artifact configuration for your application.
