Cloud guardrails for any vendor workload — Google Cloud (GCP, Vertex AI, GKE), AWS (IAM, EKS, Bedrock), Azure (Entra ID, Policy, AKS), Alibaba Cloud (RAM, mainland/international residency). Enforces identity least-privilege, mechanical policy, data boundaries, residency, cost caps, network egress and observability, with official-source validation before any claim. Trigger on any cloud infrastructure design, review, Terraform plan, or LLM/agent deployment; the-architect routes here.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Cloud Expert

> **Identity, tenancy, residency and cost are the design constraints — not the console's defaults.**

One procedure, four vendor references. This skill enforces the discipline that makes a cloud
workload production-safe on whichever provider the team runs. It is not a vendor feature
catalogue: read the vendor reference for specifics, then apply the shared procedure.

| Vendor | Reference | Identity model | Policy engine |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google Cloud | [`references/gcp.md`](./references/gcp.md) | IAM + Workload Identity Federation | Organisation Policy, VPC Service Controls |
| AWS | [`references/aws.md`](./references/aws.md) | IAM roles + OIDC federation | SCPs, Config, Control Tower |
| Azure | [`references/azure.md`](./references/azure.md) | Entra ID + managed identities | Azure Policy, Management Groups |
| Alibaba Cloud | [`references/alibaba.md`](./references/alibaba.md) | RAM roles + STS | Resource Directory, Control Policies; mainland / international split |

## When to use

- Designing any cloud infrastructure, new or modified
- Before deploying agents or LLM workloads to a cloud provider

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jpantsjoha/ai-native-developer-experience/cloud-expert@sha256:8e63a31671d11225

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260914.d9753e2, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
