How the Lab Works — Read This First 📋
Welcome to the AI Cloud Security Lab. Here's how we're organized and what's expected. 📢 Updates — Announcements from Josh. New modules, live sessions, resources. Watch this. 💬 General — Intros, questions that don't fit elsewhere, anything community-related. Good starting point. 🔍 Discussion — Tools, concepts, industry news, "has anyone tried X" conversations. 🏆 Wins — Shipped something, figured something out, broke something and fixed it. Post it here. No win is too small. 🔧 Build Questions — Stuck on something? Post here. Include what you're trying to build, what you've tried, and where you're stuck. A screenshot or error message helps a lot. 😄 Fun — Memes, hot takes, stuff that doesn't fit anywhere else. Keep it vaguely relevant. 🤝 The vibe here — We're practitioners, not commentators. Share what actually happened, not just what you planned. Honesty beats polish. Be direct, be generous, assume good intent. 🚫 What's not allowed — Spam, self-promotion without contribution, and recycled AI slop with no real thought behind it. Treat people well. Non-negotiable. Questions about how the community works? Drop them in General. — Josh

👋 Welcome to the AI Cloud Security Lab — Start Here
You found the right place. This community exists for one reason: to help you get dangerous fast at the intersection of AI, cloud, and security — three of the highest-leverage skills you can build right now. 🎯 I'm Josh. I'm building this lab in public — learning, experimenting, and documenting everything as I go. That means you're not just getting polished lessons. You're getting the real process: what works, what breaks, and what actually moves the needle in the field. ⚡ Your first move (do this now): Drop an intro post using the template below. It takes 2 minutes and it's the fastest way to connect with the right people in here. 📋 Intro Template — Copy, Fill In, Post: 👋 I'm [Name], based in [City/Country]. I work as a [Role] at [Company or "currently exploring"]. I'm here to level up in [AI / Cloud / Security / all three]. One thing I want to learn to build in this community: [specific goal or ask]. What to expect here: Labs are organized around AI, cloud, and security — with hands-on walkthroughs, real-world breakdowns, and a community of practitioners who are serious about building skills that matter. If you're ready to dig in, head to the Classroom and pick your first module. Welcome to the lab. 🔬 — Josh

🗺️ The Cloud Security Career Roadmap is LIVE
One of the most common questions we get in this community is: "Where do I actually fit in cloud security?" That question now has a real answer. The Cloud Security Career Roadmap course is officially live in the Classroom. 🎉 It covers 10 of the most in-demand cloud security specializations — from Cloud Security Engineers and DevSecOps pros to Threat Intelligence Analysts and Cloud Penetration Testers. Each path gets its own deep-dive page covering: → What you actually do day-to-day → Where AI is changing the role (and what it can't replace) → The skills, tools, and certs that move the needle → Realistic salary ranges for 2026 → A 30-day action plan to get started This isn't a "pick a certification and grind" guide. It's built for people who want to make a deliberate, informed decision about where to focus their energy — and then go build real things. Head to the Classroom tab and check out the Cloud Security Career Roadmap. Start with "Find Your Path" if you're not sure where to begin. Drop a comment below — which role are you exploring? 👇

🔬 Which lab should we build next?
I’m building out the next hands-on lab for Cloud Security Lab, and I’d love your input. The goal is to keep building labs that give you real experience, not just more theory. Vote for the one you’d most want next: 1. Launch Wazuh in AWS Set up a real security monitoring lab in AWS and start learning logging, detection, and visibility. 2. Launch Your Cloud Test Range Build a safe cloud environment you can use for testing, experimenting, and future labs. 3. Detect & Investigate in Your Test Range Use your tools and environment to explore detections, logs, and investigation workflows. 4. Build a GRC Lab with Eramba Explore risk registers, controls, policies, and security program documentation in a hands-on lab. If you want, comment too and tell me why you picked it or what you’d want to get out of that lab. Your feedback will help shape what gets built next. 🚀
