Runbooks

Runbooks are repeatable procedures for validating or operating repository examples without requiring production credentials.

Available runbooks:

• Student Implementation Guide: safe step-by-step workflow for students using their own credentials.
• Credentials and Cost Safety: account ownership, local secrets, budget alerts, evidence, and cleanup checks for cloud or credentialed labs.
• IaC and Kubernetes Example Runbook: Terraform formatting, Terraform validation, and Kubernetes dry-run checks for EKS/Terraform examples.

Runbook conventions:

• Keep commands local and cloud-independent unless the runbook clearly marks the required account, region, permissions, and expected cost.
• Prefer validation, dry-run, and formatting commands before deployment commands.
• Include rollback or cleanup notes for any command that creates cloud resources.
• Link to the relevant security baseline when the runbook touches infrastructure, containers, CI/CD, or secrets.
