Juju is an open source tool for deploying and managing applications on public and private clouds. It allows users to define application services and their relationships using "charms", and then deploy those applications across multiple cloud platforms. Some key capabilities of Juju include defining application scalability through hooks, deploying pre-configured applications and services from the public Charm Store, and modeling entire cloud environments through charms. The document provides information on installing and using Juju on various platforms like AWS, Azure, OpenStack and discusses the architecture and components of Juju like agents, the API server and state server. It also covers writing custom charms and the growing charm ecosystem available through the public Charm Store.
