NK-WP-0009 - NetKingdom Security Pattern Tutorials

Goal

Build practical tutorials that show operators and developers how to implement canonical NetKingdom security architecture patterns in NetKingdom-enabled IT infrastructures.

Where NK-WP-0008 is the pattern library, this workplan is the hands-on path: runnable examples, checklists, commands, manifests, verification steps, and failure-mode exercises.

Context

The platform needs more than architecture statements. A new deployment should be able to answer:

• How do I issue identity tokens in lightweight mode versus expanded mode?
• How do I ask flex-auth for a resource decision?
• How do I vend temporary object-storage credentials?
• How do I deploy OpenBao and avoid secret zero traps?
• How do I use short-lived SSH certificates for agents and automations?
• How do I verify audit records and break-glass behavior?

Tutorials turn canonical patterns into repeatable implementation practice without forcing every application repo to rediscover the same steps.

Scope

In scope:

• tutorial structure and style guide
• runnable or copy-pasteable examples
• local/dev and production variants where appropriate
• verification and rollback steps
• integration references to key-cape, flex-auth, ops-warden, ops-bridge, railiance-platform, and artifact-store

Out of scope:

• deploying live services directly from this repo
• replacing repo-specific operator runbooks
• hiding provider-specific security differences behind one generic command

Write "Deploy OpenBao as the canonical secrets manager for a NetKingdom-enabled Railiance platform", linking to the Railiance Platform workplan and covering auth methods, secret engines, CSI/ESO integration, leases, unseal, backup, and break-glass.

status: todo
priority: medium
state_hub_task_id: "df427aa3-233f-4479-aed9-706676f8e87d"

Add tutorial verification fixtures or checklists so each tutorial has a clear "done when" outcome and does not become prose-only guidance.

Acceptance Criteria

• Tutorials are grouped under a stable docs path with a repeatable format.
• Each tutorial maps back to one or more NK-WP-0008 patterns.
• Tutorials name the owning repo for every concrete implementation step.
• Tutorials include verification and rollback guidance, not just happy path commands.
