Scaffold a New Lab Module

Create a new lab module directory following the course conventions.

Argument: $ARGUMENTS is the module directory name in NN-topic-name format (e.g., 08-distributed-file-systems).

Steps

1. Read docs/lab-template.md to understand the 13-section structure.
2. Create the module directory: $ARGUMENTS/
3. Generate $ARGUMENTS/README.md with:
   • Title derived from the topic name (convert kebab-case to title case)
   • All 13 sections from the lab template as scaffolded placeholders
   • Appropriate technology badges
   • Author and license sections
4. Create $ARGUMENTS/setup.sh with a basic shebang and set -euo pipefail
5. Create $ARGUMENTS/cleanup.sh with a basic shebang and set -euo pipefail
6. Make both scripts executable with chmod +x
7. Update the root README.md to change the module entry from _(coming soon)_ to a full description (use existing modules as examples)

Conventions

• Directory names: NN-topic-name (two-digit number, kebab-case)
• Files stay flat at the lab root until 5+ files of the same type warrant a subdirectory
• All content in English, dateless, no hardcoded credentials
• Use placeholder values for AWS resources (YOUR_INSTANCE_IP, etc.)
• Follow the hint pattern from docs/lab-template.md for questions
