Architect, implement, test, and push the production GitHub repository 'cloudvault-m06-aws-iam-zero-trust' (strictly zero dummy scaffolding) demonstrating end-to-end mastery of Module 6: AWS Account Setup, Billing Guardrails & Identity and Access Management (IAM) Core.

• AWS Account Hardening From Day 1: Root Account MFA, AWS Budgets, Anomaly Alerts & Billing Tags — Purpose: Ensure zero surprise cloud bills and lock away root credentials before provisioning a single resource.
• IAM Users, Groups, Roles, Temporary STS Credentials & JSON Policy Evaluation Logic (Allow vs Explicit Deny) — Purpose: Master how AWS evaluates identity-based and resource-based policies on every API request.
• IAM Conditions (MFA, SourceIp, PrincipalTag), Permission Boundaries & Cross-Account Role Assumption — Purpose: Enforce context-aware zero-trust access across dev, staging, security, and production environments.
• AWS CLI v2 Setup, Named SSO Profiles, IAM Access Analyzer & Credential Hygiene Best Practices — Purpose: Eliminate leaked static access keys permanently using short-lived STS tokens and Access Analyzer audits.

Module Learning & Hands-On Objectives

✓ AWS Organizations, Organizational Units (OUs), Service Control Policies (SCPs) & AWS Control Tower — Purpose: Prevent anyone — even account admins — from disabling CloudTrail or launching servers in unapproved regions.
✓ Centralized Human Workforce Access with AWS IAM Identity Center (SSO) & SAML / OIDC Federation — Purpose: Connect corporate identity providers to multi-account AWS permission sets cleanly.
✓ Cryptography on AWS: KMS Customer Managed Keys, Envelope Encryption, Key Rotation & AWS Secrets Manager — Purpose: Encrypt EBS, S3, and RDS data at rest and rotate database passwords automatically without app downtime.
✓ Perimeter & Threat Defense: AWS Certificate Manager (ACM), AWS WAF, Shield, GuardDuty & Security Hub — Purpose: Block SQLi/XSS/bot floods at the edge and detect anomalous API calls continuously.

Module Learning & Hands-On Objectives

✓ AWS Lambda Internals: Execution Environments, Cold Starts, SnapStart, Layers, VPC Attachment & IAM Roles — Purpose: Write event-driven serverless functions with minimal cold-start latency and tight per-function permissions.
✓ Amazon API Gateway: REST vs HTTP vs WebSocket APIs, Cognito / Lambda Authorizers, Caching & Throttling — Purpose: Expose secure, rate-limited HTTPS APIs without managing a single EC2 instance or load balancer.
✓ Workflow Orchestration with AWS Step Functions: Standard vs Express Workflows, Retries & Saga Compensation — Purpose: Coordinate multi-step payment, KYC, and media-processing workflows with visual state audit trails.
✓ Serverless Production Best Practices: Idempotency, Reserved Concurrency, DLQs & AWS X-Ray Distributed Tracing — Purpose: Ensure retries never duplicate business transactions and trace latency across serverless hops.

Module Learning & Hands-On Objectives

✓ Infrastructure as Code From Scratch: Declarative HCL Syntax, Providers, Resources, Variables, Outputs & Locals — Purpose: Replace error-prone manual console clicking with peer-reviewed, repeatable Terraform code.
✓ Terraform State Architecture: Remote S3 Backend, State Locking, Encryption, Workspaces & State Import/Move — Purpose: Collaborate safely across cloud engineering teams without corrupting or exposing infrastructure state.
✓ Composable Terraform Modules for Multi-AZ VPC, ALB, RDS Multi-AZ, S3/CloudFront & EKS Environments — Purpose: Author DRY, versioned Terraform modules reusable across dev, staging, and production accounts.
✓ AWS CloudFormation / AWS CDK Essentials, Drift Detection & Policy-as-Code Scanning (Checkov / tflint) — Purpose: Block misconfigured public buckets or open 0.0.0.0/0 SSH rules automatically before terraform apply.
