Ensuring Your Safety: An Introduction to AWS IAM

Security in the cloud is essential, and “Ensuring Your Safety: An Introduction to AWS IAM” is here to guide you. We introduce you to AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM), the service that enables secure control access to AWS resources.

We start by discussing why IAM is necessary and how it increases your cloud security. We’ll guide you through the process of creating IAM users and assigning them security credentials.

But it doesn’t stop at creating users; you’ll need to manage what they can do. Thus, we delve into IAM policies - rules that define what actions are allowed or denied on which AWS resources. We’ll guide you through creating and managing these policies, ensuring your AWS resources are accessible to the right people.

Lastly, we discuss the best practices for IAM, such as regularly rotating security credentials and applying the principle of least privilege. By the end of this section, you’ll have a strong foundation in AWS IAM, enhancing the security of your AWS journey.
