Cloud, Identity & DevSecOps Architect

AWS/Azure, IAM, container pipelines and verifiable recovery · 80–120h proposed; infrastructure-as-code and controlled practical lab.

What you will be able to demonstrate

  • Draw workload trust boundaries and shared responsibilities
  • Implement privilege-scoped IAM, workload identities and key controls
  • Assess cloud logs, containers, supply chain and CI/CD release rules
  • Threat-model plausible misconfigurations and select mitigations
  • Reproduce recovery and demonstrate controlled change/rollback

Evidence from the practical assessment

  • Target architecture and trust matrix
  • Infrastructure-as-code or policy baseline
  • Threat model and evidence of control tests
  • Backup restoration and rollback record
  • Operations handover with ownership and limitations

How practical competence is assessed

A practical lab links a workload, role assumption, software pipeline and recovery requirement; the candidate must justify design decisions rather than copy a template.

How this connects to customer work

This assesses architecture and implementation; advanced offensive cloud testing requires its own authorization and specialist qualification.
