AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM)
- Free trail account: Refer Here
- AWS Account is generally created by some email id and this login/user will be a root account and will have permission on complete account
- Root account creates other logins for other users which are generally referred as IAM users, The permissions which this user should have is defined by a policy selected or created by root user.
- Authentication and Authorization:
- Authentication is where user credentials are verified and then you are let in.
- Authorization is all about where user is allowed or denied access
- AWS Account usage options:
- AWS has a service for managing which is called as AWS IAM
- users: Here we generate username and password
- groups: this is for logical grouping.
- roles: This is for giving access/authorizations for one AWS Service/Resource to access other AWS Services/Resources
- policies: This defines authorization.
- AWS has many built-in policies, but still to customize we need to learn how to create custom policies according to our needs.
