CIE Starter Kit

This document intends to give an overview on the CIE Starter Kit

Tech Marketing is collaborating with community members to establish Common Industry Environments (CIE) for each industry. These CIEs are available as Starter Kits on Tech Marketing's demo center page, accessible to valid webkey users who can obtain a copy in their AWS account. The industry environments come equipped with preconfigured, fully integrated application servers, Common Industry Datasets, and desktop clients (AWS Appstream) on the AWS cloud, specific to the industry. This eliminates the need for installing applications on a local machine, as the clients are preconfigured with TC, NX, and other apps and can be accessed through a web browser, making it ideal for industry-specific demos, POCs, workshops, etc. Additionally, users can connect to webservices like Active Workspace, Polarion, TcRA from their local web browser.
