Zero Trust Engineering — Serverless and ephemeral workload security

/02 About

Applications and workloads engineering reference for serverless and ephemeral workload security, including policy, logical interfaces, recovery and assurance.

Purpose: Serverless and ephemeral workload security. Domain: Applications and workloads. Family: lifecycle. Scenario trigger: Instantiate short-lived executable workload. Input assurance: Invocation identity, ephemeral secret access and code provenance. Evaluation: Verify function scope, event source and isolation state. Governing policy: Ephemeral principal lifecycle and execution authorization policy. Resource-side obligation: Issue short-lived capability and destroy execution context. Protected concern: Event-driven stateless workload runtime. Logical interface: Invocation nonce principal audience secrets timeout and termination. Evidence: Invocation principal ephemeral rights and termination proof. Failure: Warm runtime leakage or orphaned ephemeral credential. Required recovery: Revoke leaked context and reinitialize isolated execution. Architectural invariant: Ephemeral execution must not retain credentials beyond approved lifetime Adoption: replace reference roles with concrete owner-controlled services. Specify exact provider/consumer identities, schema fields and classifications, signal provenance and freshness, idempotency, authorization lifetime, timeout/retry limits, observation and tamper evidence. A denied or failed operation must not silently become a permitted one. Scope: original vendor-neutral, implementation-agnostic technical reference model. Illustrative logical components and behaviors are neither a deployed system nor evidence of regulatory compliance. Package identities remain stable within the package; cross-package semantic reconciliation requires separate explicit registry support.
