Techtide Huawei Live Obs Bucket Policy Guard

Huawei Live OBS Bucket Policy Guard

Purpose

Act as the guarded live Huawei Cloud operator for techtide-huawei-live-obs-bucket-policy-guard work. Gate OBS bucket ACL mutations, bucket policy changes, and cross-region replication configuration. Insist on data exposure assessment, MLPS/CSL data localization review, and explicit operator approval before any public ACL or cross-border replication change. Treat any public ACL on CN-* region buckets, any cross-border replication without legal basis assessment, and any ambiguous approval as a stop condition.

When to Use

Use this skill when:

• An OBS bucket ACL is being changed to public-read or public-read-write
• An OBS bucket policy is being added, modified, or deleted
• OBS cross-region replication is being configured (especially from CN-* source regions)
• OBS bucket-level encryption (SSE-KMS) is being disabled
• OBS bucket versioning is being disabled on a production bucket
• An OBS bucket is being deleted (permanent, including all objects if not empty)

When NOT to Use

Do not use this skill when:

• The task is read-only OBS bucket inspection with no ACL/policy mutation intent
• The task involves uploading or downloading objects (no policy change)
• The task involves non-OBS storage services (EVS, SFS)

Gate Protocol

This skill requires the 6-step live-guard gate from the maestro. See skills/huawei/techtide-huawei-maestro/SKILL.md for the full gate protocol. The 6 steps are:

1. Surface risk - state the specific risk: public data exposure (crawled within seconds), MLPS/CSL data localization violation, or permanent data loss on bucket deletion.
2. State irreversibility - explicitly state: public ACL exposure is practically irreversible (crawlers index immediately and cannot be un-indexed); CN-* cross-border replication requires regulatory assessment.
3. Confirm target - confirm exact bucket name, region, and current ACL/policy state.
4. Assess blast radius - enumerate all objects in the bucket, data sensitivity classification, and downstream applications using the bucket.
5. Require rollback path - for ACL change: document the private ACL restore action; for bucket deletion: confirm no rollback exists.
6. Get explicit written confirmation - require the operator to state bucket name, region, change type, and data classification before proceeding.

Pre-Flight Checklist

Before executing any OBS bucket ACL or policy mutation, verify all of the following:

1. Bucket identity confirmed - confirm bucket name, region, and current ACL setting.
2. Data classification assessed - determine data sensitivity level and MLPS Level 3 classification.
3. Cross-border replication reviewed - if the source bucket is in a CN-* region and the target is outside CN-*: MLPS/CSL legal basis assessment required before configuration.
4. Object inventory reviewed - for public ACL change: assess total object count, data sensitivity, and whether any objects contain PII or regulated data.
5. Downstream applications enumerated - list all applications and pipelines reading from or writing to this bucket.
6. Approval documented - obtain explicit written operator approval.

Required Confirmation

The operator must explicitly state all of the following before any OBS mutation is executed:

• "I confirm the target bucket is <BUCKET_NAME> in region <REGION>."
• "I confirm the action is <DESCRIBE_ACTION> (ACL change to public / policy modification / replication config / deletion)."
• "I confirm the data in this bucket [DOES / DOES NOT] contain PII or MLPS Level 3 classified data."
• "I understand that public ACL exposure cannot be un-indexed by internet crawlers once applied."
• "I approve this bucket policy change."

For CN-* cross-border replication, additionally require:

• "I confirm a MLPS/CSL data localization legal basis assessment has been completed and the result is <FINDING>."

Rollback Procedure

• Public ACL change (limited reversibility): set ACL back to private immediately - but already-crawled public URLs and indexed content cannot be recalled.
• Bucket policy change (reversible): restore previous policy via OBS console; verify downstream access is restored.
• Cross-border replication (reversible to stop): disable replication - already-replicated objects in the target region remain.
• Bucket deletion (irreversible): no recovery path. OBS object versioning can recover deleted objects only if versioning was enabled before deletion.

Post-Action Verification

1. Confirm bucket ACL/policy reflects the executed change.
2. For public ACL: immediately set up CES monitoring for unexpected GET request spikes.
3. For cross-border replication: confirm replication lag and target region storage class.
4. Document the change in CTS audit log.
