Lab Path
Cloud Security literacy path on `$CLOUD_LAB` — account setup to mentor handoff with ethics gates at every station.
Visual · t31_lab_path
Lab path = visual cloud security chain on YOUR $CLOUD_LAB. Original Cyberlium.
Opening
Draw the path from lab scope to mentor handoff — with stop signs at every stranger tenant scan and escape PoC shortcut.
Document literacy path: `$CLOUD_LAB` setup → shared responsibility → IAM → data/logging → Azure → Docker hygiene → K8s hygiene → CSPM/CWPP/IaC → findings/responsible cloud → capstone. Ethics gates: stranger tenant scan, escape PoC cookbooks, prod cloud/kube apply, prod credential paste, unauthorized disclosure — refused paths labeled red. UTC milestones and artifact IDs per station. Mermaid or sketch chmod 600. Honest N/A if brief skipped live Azure — labeled. Defender breakpoint: where RoE or YOUR accounts discipline prevented out-of-scope test.
1. Path stations
Setup, shared resp, IAM, logging, Azure, Docker, K8s, tools, findings, handoff — ten minimum stations.
Each station links evidence index row and module lesson ID.

═══ INSTALL ═══
Linux (Debian/Ubuntu):
Command — copy this
pipx install awscli # or official AWS CLI v2 sudo apt install curl
macOS:
Command — copy this
brew install awscli
Windows: Install AWS CLI v2 from Amazon Built-in (PowerShell: Invoke-WebRequest)
═══ LINUX / macOS ═══
Command — copy this
export CLOUD_LAB=${CLOUD_LAB:-$HOME/cyberlium-lab/t31-cloud}
echo '=== Capstone path: IAM → data/logging → Azure → containers → K8s → tools → findings ==='YOUR ACCOUNT
Command — copy this
aws sts get-caller-identity 2>/dev/null || echo 'Step: configure YOUR AWS account' grep -E 'IAM|S3|CloudTrail' "$CLOUD_LAB/aws/iam-least-privilege-checklist.md" "$CLOUD_LAB/aws/s3-hygiene-checklist.md" | head -5 grep -E 'NetworkPolicy|RBAC' "$CLOUD_LAB/k8s/rbac-stub.yaml" "$CLOUD_LAB/k8s/networkpolicy-stub.yaml" | head -5 curl -sS https://owasp.org/www-project-cloud-security/ | head -5
Primary tools to practice this lesson: aws, curl. Reference sites: AWS security (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/security/); Azure security (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/security/); Kubernetes security (https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/security/). Run every command in the box — install first, then the usage lines — only on YOUR lab / program scope.
2. Ethics overlay
Red stops: stranger tenant scan, escape PoC, prod apply without RoE, prod credential paste.
RoE branch always green start — `$CLOUD_LAB` on separate labeled branch.
3. Integrity breakpoint
Mark where scope check or YOUR accounts rule prevented out-of-RoE test.
One paragraph uplift from YOUR `$CLOUD_LAB` path.

6. Wrong vs right: stranger tenants vs YOUR cloud accounts
Worked failure — same MSF word, opposite target. Right never needs a café Wi-Fi or classmate laptop.
Wrong
Lab path includes stranger AWS scan shortcut lane.
Right
Lab path documented for $CLOUD_LAB. Next: Evidence Pack.
Mission: lab path diagram
1) Map ten stations. 2) Add six ethics gates. 3) UTC milestones per station. 4) Link evidence index IDs.
