Development Platform
Build low, SHIFT high
Provides integration into your
development platform to build in commercial AWS environment while emulating the attributes of the private region in which your code will be deployed.
Allows you to work within your own AWS environments and emulate your targeted air-gapped region.

Environment Types
SHIFT offers a variety of environment types and regions to emulate. You will be able to select the region type you’d like to emulate and the environment type depending on your needs and where you are in your journey to your targeted air-gapped region.
Diagnostic
This environment is designed to allow users to run commercially configured products/systems through SHIFT without the need to configure for an isolated-region. Users will see the feedback on any requests or API calls which would need to be updated to work in the targeted isolated-region. This allows users to determine the amount of effort/rework needed to configure their system for their targeted isolated-region.
Development
This environment allows internet connections and enables calls to yum repos, git, dependencies (i.e., pip, maven, etc.), while still restricting AWS API calls to the target emulated isolated-region. Users launch dev environments in their VPC associated with SHIFT via an EC2 instance, Cloud9, Workspace, etc. Developers can combine the best of both worlds by using their favorite commercial development tools, IDEs, etc. while operating in an isolated-region environment through the platform.
Strict
This environment is designed to completely emulate the target isolated-region environment - restricting requests that would not succeed in the target isolated-region - including internet and AWS API calls. Systems in a Strict environment will not be able to make calls to commercial AWS endpoints, reach the internet, or download packages through package managers such as yum. Once a system can operating without issue in this environment they can ship their product "as-is" to the target isolated-region - helping solve the “final mile” problem.

Partner Testimonial
“Within a matter of hours, DAE was able to solve some long-standing issues with our ICMP product and they helped get our product operational in C2S. DAE is actively working with CloudCheckr to enhance our solution for future customer installs. We have been thoroughly impressed with their skill set and we’re very excited to be working with them on this growing area for public sector organizations.”

"DAE's SHIFT platform took a fundamentally different technical approach to C2S emulation which has not been accomplished by anyone else in the market. In addition, their professional services staff was high-touch and attentive, making our use of SHIFT a productive and successful experience. We look forward to continuing our relationship with DAE."

"We'd been trying to put our product on the C2S marketplace for over 4 months. We spent multiple hours deploying AMIs to C2S, however, each time we were hit with new errors that we didn't have a way to replicate on the low side. With SHIFT, we're close to getting our product in the C2S marketplace and have a clear, reproducible way test our application prior to shipping to C2S. Additionally, SHIFT support has been tremendous. Our questions have been answered right away and the support staff have a deep expertise in quirks between AWS and C2S."
