About Tech Journal — field notes on cloud security and AI guardrails by Arif Bazli.
Field notes on cloud security and AI guardrails. Not here to flex — just keeping a record I can search later.
Not about being authoritative. About having a record.
Most of what makes cloud security work — actual production reality — lives in private Slack threads, post-mortem docs, and that one teammate’s notebook. None of it is searchable, shareable, or survives a team change.
This is my attempt to put some of it on the open web. Short notes on:
- Cloud security — major incidents, vendor advisories, compliance shifts
- AI guardrails — keeping AI systems safe, reliable, and in-bounds
- Agentic systems — what breaks when your AI agent has production access
- Tooling & workflow — small tools that save time, useful commands
- Incident write-ups — short, technical, after bad days
- Quick takes — opinions on CVEs, viral posts, industry shifts
- Cloud security — posture, drift, identity, runtime, supply chain, multi-cloud
- AI guardrails — input/output filtering, prompt injection defense, LLM security layers
- Agentic systems — agent runtime security, capability scoping, threat modelling
- Detection — rules, runtime telemetry, alert pipelines, AI-assisted triage
- Automation — infrastructure-as-code security, policy-as-code, CI/CD, secrets
- Incidents — what broke, why, and how it got fixed
- Engineers moving into cloud security and trying to understand the landscape
- Security engineers who want to learn the AI side
- AI builders who want to know what breaks in production
- Anyone who likes reading other people’s working notes
That’s how I think about technical stuff. A lot of terms don’t translate cleanly, and forcing it makes things awkward. Technical concepts travel better in the language they were coined in.
Yes. Every post has a language toggle — MS / EN — at the top. Click it to switch.
No fixed schedule. When something is worth writing down — usually at least once a month.
Yes. Nothing is locked. Take it, remix it, credit if you want.
