cloud-native-storage-strategy

cloud-native-storage-strategy is a skill for Claude Code from selvarajmurugesan90/ops-engineering-skills. It costs 122 tokens per session (3,241 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide to choosing and configuring cloud storage: object storage for files and blobs, block storage for disks, and file storage for shared folders.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose storage on AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud, set encryption and access controls, create lifecycle rules, and investigate storage cost or retrieval problems.
Why use it?
It helps avoid storage that is insecure, unnecessarily expensive, slow to retrieve, or likely to delete data through a poorly planned retention rule.

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-native-storage-strategy scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 1mo 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Cloud-Native Storage Strategy

Purpose

Storage decisions compound: the wrong storage class silently inflates cost every month, a bucket/container left with default-permissive access becomes a headline data breach, and a lifecycle policy applied without understanding retrieval patterns can turn "save money" into "delete data we needed." This skill covers choosing the right storage primitive (object, block, file) for the workload, applying encryption and access-control defaults that are safe out of the box, and designing lifecycle/tiering policies that reduce cost without silently increasing retrieval latency or cost for data that's actually still needed regularly.

When to use

  • Choosing between object storage (S3/Blob/GCS), block storage (EBS/ Managed Disks/Persistent Disk), and file storage (EFS/Azure Files/ Filestore) for a new workload.
  • Designing or auditing bucket/container/storage-account access controls and encryption defaults.
  • Setting up lifecycle policies to move data between storage tiers (hot/cool/cold/archive) based on access patterns.
  • Investigating unexpectedly high storage costs or unexpectedly slow/ expensive data retrieval.
  • Responding to a security finding like "publicly accessible storage bucket" or "storage account without encryption enforced."
  • Planning storage for a new data pipeline, backup target, or static content/CDN origin.

Prerequisites & environment

  • Clarity on the workload's actual access pattern before choosing a storage class: how often is data read/written, how quickly must a read return (milliseconds vs. minutes-to-hours for archive tiers), and how long must data be retained (see disaster-recovery-and-backup-strategy for retention/backup-specific concerns, which overlap but are not identical to lifecycle tiering).
  • Cloud CLI/Terraform access appropriate to the storage service: Terraform ≥ 1.5 with aws/azurerm/google providers ≥ their current major version for lifecycle and encryption resources.
  • The account/subscription/project's landing-zone guardrails already in place (e.g. an SCP/Organization Policy/Azure Policy that blocks public bucket ACLs by default) — storage security should be defense-in-depth, not solely per-resource configuration; see the relevant *-landing-zone-setup skill.
  • A key management strategy decided (cloud-managed keys vs. customer-managed keys in AWS KMS / Azure Key Vault / GCP Cloud KMS) — customer-managed keys add operational overhead (rotation, access policy) but are often required for regulated data.
