## Description

CloudPentestCheatsheets is a knowledge base and curated set of technical instructions for executing penetration tests on cloud-native architecture. It serves as a security audit guide and cheat sheet for auditing security and identifying misconfigurations across major cloud environments.

The project provides structured materials for performing cloud penetration testing, security auditing, and asset enumeration. These resources are organized to support multi-cloud security assessments through the evaluation of offensive security postures across various cloud service providers.

The technical guidance is delivered via modular provider segmentation and a checklist-driven workflow. It utilizes curated command libraries and a markdown-based flat-file organization to store instructional content and provider-specific commands.
