+Feature: Shadow-8
+
+  As a developer, I can set the sync directionality.
+
+  Background:
+    Given my device is registered as a Thing
+    And my device is running Greengrass
+    And I start an assertion server
+    When I add random shadow for MyThing with name MyThingNamedShadow in context
+    When I add random shadow for MyThing2 with name MyThingNamedShadow2 in context
+
+  @functional @JavaSDK @smoke @RunWithHSM
+  Scenario: Shadow-8-T1: As a developer, I can sync a local named shadow between cloud and device.
+    When I create a Greengrass deployment with components
+      | aws.greengrass.Nucleus       | LATEST  |
+      | aws.greengrass.ShadowManager | LATEST |
+    And I update my Greengrass deployment configuration, setting the component aws.greengrass.ShadowManager configuration to:
