cloud-platforms

cloud-platforms is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from KiranEswaran/engineering-skills. It costs 76 tokens per session (1,053 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of cloud-platforms, MIT.

A reference guide for designing and managing infrastructure on AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and Cloudflare. It explains security, permissions, Kubernetes, serverless systems, and setups that use more than one cloud provider.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for planning cloud infrastructure, configuring AWS EKS, Azure AKS, Google GKE, Cloudflare Workers, serverless services, and infrastructure defined in code.
Why use it?
It helps developers choose suitable cloud patterns and avoid common mistakes in access control, networking, deployment, and monitoring.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

cloud-platforms scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Cloud Platforms

Core Principles

  1. Zero Trust: Never trust, always verify
  2. Least Privilege: Minimum necessary permissions
  3. Defense in Depth: Multiple layers of security
  4. Infrastructure as Code: All infrastructure defined in code
  5. Observability: Comprehensive logging, metrics, and tracing

Platform Selection

Use Case Recommended
Enterprise, broad services AWS
Microsoft ecosystem Azure
Data/ML workloads GCP
Edge/CDN, simple serverless Cloudflare

AWS Quick Reference

IAM Best Practices

# EKS Pod Identity (Recommended over IRSA)
resource "aws_eks_pod_identity_association" "app" {
  cluster_name    = aws_eks_cluster.main.name
  namespace       = "default"
  service_account = "app"
  role_arn        = aws_iam_role.app_pod_identity.arn
}

VPC Pattern

# Private subnets only - Zero Trust
resource "aws_subnet" "private" {
  count             = 3
  vpc_id            = aws_vpc.main.id
  cidr_block        = "10.16.${count.index + 1}.0/24"
  availability_zone = data.aws_availability_zones.available.names[count.index]

  tags = {
    Name = "private-subnet-${count.index + 1}"
    Type = "Private"
  }
}

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
