Cloud Infrastructure Proof

Govern AI/devops cloud actions before infrastructure changes.

The Cloud Admin Proof Pack runs 24 metadata-only scenarios through SMERC: IAM expansion, network-boundary widening, database deletion, Kubernetes rollout, DNS cutover, service-auth rotation, capacity reduction, and backup-retention changes.

Work / Result / Impact

Cloud reviewers can see the operational value quickly.

The pack answers whether recoverability changes judgment before an autonomous agent changes infrastructure state.

Work Evaluate cloud actions

Run Ref-gate checks, recoverability scoring, Governance Routing Workbench route selection, autonomy-budget accounting, and ledger evidence for each action.

Result Return clear postures

The current report returns `DENY`, `THROTTLE`, and `ESCALATE` outcomes across 24 cloud-admin scenarios.

Impact Constrain risky automation

Actions can be blocked, narrowed, checkpointed, reviewed, or routed through constrained execution before infrastructure changes occur.

Boundary Complement existing controls

SMERC does not replace IAM, OPA, Terraform policy, Kubernetes RBAC, CI approvals, SIEM, or human accountability.

Company Intake Bridge

From proof pack to safe customer test

The Cloud Metadata Connector turns read-only exported summaries from IAM, Terraform, CloudTrail-style event summaries, Kubernetes rollouts, DNS change requests, and backup-policy changes into strict SMERC customer-evaluation metadata. It gives a company a way to test familiar cloud evidence before granting live access or building an enforcement integration.

Reason Codes

Cloud-specific reasons make the proof easier to review.

01

IAM scope expansion

Permission changes may increase who or what can act later.

02

Rollback uncertain

Rollback, reversibility, or checkpoint support is weak for the proposed action.

03

Production blast radius

Production impact scope is wide enough to create meaningful operational exposure.

04

Evidence incomplete

The action lacks enough trusted evidence to support confident execution.

05

Network boundary widening

Network access changes can expand exposure faster than reviewers can respond.

06

Backup recovery risk

Retention or recovery-policy changes can weaken the future recovery path.

Best next test

Replace the sample actions with 10 to 25 metadata-only actions from one cloud workflow family: production IAM changes, infrastructure-as-code applies, Kubernetes rollouts, DNS routing, database administration, network policy, service-auth rotation, or backup policy.
