Day 2. Not Day 1, not Day 50. Day 2 is the day the motivation from starting has worn off, and the finish line isn't in sight yet. This is where most challenges quietly die.

So here's mine.

Same format as yesterday: the Linux task and the AWS task from the session, plus what actually matters about each one once you've done it a few hundred times in production. Today, both tasks come down to the same idea. Controlling access. Who gets in, and from where.

Task 1 (Linux): Create a User That Expires on Its Own

The task: create an account that switches itself off on a set date. This is what you set up for a contractor, an auditor, anyone with temporary access.
