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.
Command guide
Try these commands — Path stations
═══ DOCKER & CONTAINER AUDIT ═══
Check container running state and port bindings
Command — copy this
docker ps --format "table {{.ID}} {{.Image}} {{.Status}} {{.Ports}}" 2>/dev/null || echo "docker ps"Inspect container for elevated capabilities and root user
Command — copy this
docker inspect --format '{{json .HostConfig.Privileged}}' <container_id> 2>/dev/null || trueRun security vulnerability scan on container image using Trivy
Command — copy this
trivy image --severity HIGH,CRITICAL alpine:3.19 2>/dev/null || echo "trivy image alpine:3.19"
═══ KUBERNETES RBAC AUDIT ═══ Check current permissions in namespace
Command — copy this
kubectl auth can-i --list 2>/dev/null || echo "kubectl auth can-i"
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.
4. What you ship: lab path diagram
Cloud security chain with ethics gates + UTC milestones — chmod 600.
5. What you record before the next lesson
Lab path diagram 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.
