This document introduces drie, a web application platform built on AWS that provides cloud security features by design. Dri provides customers with secure cloud environments on AWS within minutes using best practices. It aims to make building secure cloud infrastructure and services easy for companies by gluing together the best parts of AWS. Dri allows developers to build, test, and deploy applications quickly and securely on AWS.

1. drie: an introduction
2016

2. What is drie?
drie is a web application platform made from the best bits of
AWS glued together
We use AWS security best practices to implement a repeatable, effective baseline security for our customers.

3. We give you cloud security on AWS in minutes
drie is the only platform as a service with AWS best practice security features by design.
Companies find it too hard to build secure
cloud infrastructure
● Public cloud does not meet
organisations’ security needs
● Finding skilled people to build secure
cloud services is difficult and expensive
● Learning AWS best practices takes
multiple years of running production
services
● Cloud strategies like “Lift and shift” and
internal cloud are not giving the
business benefits of digital
transformation through cloud native
services
drie is the only easy, fast and cost effective
to develop secure cloud native digital services
● drie gives companies the ability to run
services on Amazon Web Services (AWS)
in minutes with security built in
● drie “glues” together best bits of AWS to
meet security best practices for cloud
● drie drives business value by making it
easy to build and run innovative cloud
native software
● drie is disruptive as organisations will
no longer need to hire expensive
“devops” contractors to build
cloud-based services

4. drie core platform
An easy, fast and secure way to build
secure cloud native software
drie is platform as a service that builds, scales and
runs software applications.
drie changes the way software development teams
work, giving them secure cloud environments on AWS
in 15 mins.
Teams can build new products, move existing
software or re-write older applications.
Using drie you can release your digital services to the
world, confident we use AWS best practices to give
you a trusted production environment.
Secure
TLS, encryption, isolation,
firewalls and patching for
every application
Agile
Built to support agile software
development and continuous
delivery
Easy to use
The complexities of building a
secure cloud platform in 3
commands
Supported
24/7 support, questions
answered and help with design
from cloud experts
Repeatable
Every environment you create
is identical using infrastructure
as code
Cost effective
Transparent and efficient
pricing from £80 a month, a lot
less than the cost of a devops
team

5. drie push
Change the way you develop, test and
push code
drie push is an innovative beta product from the drie team
that builds software applications in seconds using tooling
developers love.
Developers can share every idea, experiment or prototype
they have, building hundreds of applications in the
process. drie push is built using serverless technologies so
your application is started up only when someone uses it,
massively reducing the amount of resources it needs.
drie push has the potential to change the workflow of
every developer and designer, making experimenting fun
and easy.
Incredibly fast
Build an application on drie
push in under 60 seconds
Developer focused
Deploy with familiar git based
tooling you use every day
Built for sharing
Don't wait for a test
environment, build in seconds
and get a unique URL
Serverless
Your application only spins up
when someone access it
Built for experiments
Run as many applications as
you can imagine, only pay
when they get popular
Great for learning
Hackathons, code schools and
beginners have a low cost way
of getting started

6. Why use drie?
You want to build a new thing
● A new experimental service for your users separate from your main corporate applications
● Breaking up an existing monolith into stateless microservices
● Service for managing interactions with a third party API
Small
-You are thinking about
microservices
Fast
-You want to get a version of
your application up and
running in minutes
-You want to be making
changes to it multiple times a
day/week
Real
-You deal with real customer
data
-Security is of the utmost
importance
-Availability matters
-This is a production service

7. What are AWS best security practices?
A 50 page pdf that outlines AWS security best practice -
which we have turned into one command
We estimate that it would take a team of 5 people at least 6-12 months to turn the 50 page
document around and get it working in a repeatable, tidy & automated way

8. Why not use something else?
Great tools but drie is different. We don’t believe in black boxes we are transparent with all the
technologies we use and how drie achieve AWS security best practice.
Heroku (drie is not a black box)
Cloudfoundry (drie is source code to deployed app in minutes)
Elastic beanstalk (drie configures the security overlay)
PaaS is not a silver bullet rather a useful tool.
drie is an easy and secure way for you to start deploying applications in AWS today.

9. Pricing
Like AWS our pricing is transparent and based on hourly consumption
For £80 per month per 1GB instance (this includes security encryption certificates) you get;
Internet bandwidth
Regular automatic OS patching
VM level isolation between apps
Encryption of config and code using customer controlled keys
HTTPS by default
Trivial app updates and roll back
Simple API integration with existing CI/CD solutions
Integrate with your current source control
Lock down communications between apps
Secure connectivity to other AWS infrastructure
