Disposable Cloud Environment^TM

DCE^TM is your playground in the cloud

DCE helps you quickly and safely explore the public cloud by managing temporary AWS accounts.

Common use cases for a public cloud account include:

Developing, testing, or operating cloud networks and applications
Improving infrastructure utilization with autoscaling
Leveraging cloud-native developer tooling
Exploring data with analytical and machine learning services
And much more!

DCE users can "lease" an AWS account for a defined period of time and with a limited budget.

At the end of the lease, or if the lease's budget is reached, the account is wiped clean and returned to the account pool so it may be leased again.

Documentation coming soon.
