Practical, Production-Grade Cloud & Identity Engineering
CloudKnowledge was founded to bridge the gap between theoretical cloud documentation and how Identity & Access Management (IAM), Zero Trust, and cloud infrastructure actually operate in enterprise production.
Demystifying Enterprise IAM
Enterprise identity is notoriously hard to learn because sandbox environments rarely mimic complex multi-tenant federation, hybrid sync, or conditional access ring deployments. Our mission is to provide reproducible, zero-fluff lab guides and scenario-based walkthroughs that any engineer can run, test, and master.
The Standard for Identity Training
We envision an industry standard where certification prep is not rote memorization of question dumps, but verified muscle memory gained by configuring policies, auditing Kerberos tickets, troubleshooting SAML assertions, and engineering Zero Trust boundaries.
Comprehensive Deep-Dives
Microsoft Entra ID & Hybrid Identity
Active Directory Domain Services, Kerberos/NTLM, Entra Connect Cloud Sync, Pass-through Authentication, Password Hash Sync, and Hybrid Join.
Conditional Access & Zero Trust
Risk-based policies, authentication strengths, compliant device requirements, Continuous Access Evaluation (CAE), and break-glass accounts.
Protocols: SAML, OAuth, OIDC & SCIM
Enterprise application single sign-on, token claims transformation, automated user provisioning, API permissions, and app registrations.
Multi-Cloud IAM (AWS, Azure, GCP)
AWS IAM Identity Center, cross-account assume role policies, Azure RBAC with Managed Identities, and Google Cloud Workload Identity Federation.
Privileged Identity Management (PIM)
Just-In-Time role activations, approval workflows, access reviews, break-glass policies, and audit logging.
Industry Certifications
Practical preparation tracks for SC-300, SC-100, AZ-104, SAA-C03, and CISSP — paired with real scenario questions.
