Description
Managing digital identities and ensuring safe access to cloud resources is more critical than it has ever been in today’s culture, which is increasingly focused on cloud computing. When companies move their operations to the cloud, they face the ever-increasing difficulty of regulating who has access to what resources and when they have access to them. Identity and Access Management—also known as AWS IAM—is absolutely necessary at this time. This book is an essential resource for everyone who works in the cloud, including developers, architects, security administrators, and cloud professionals who are interested in mastering AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM). Without Amazon Web Services Identity and Access Management (IAM), it is impossible to have secure governance of the cloud. The basis for authentication, authorization, and secure resource management is provided by linking identity and access management (IAM). This is true regardless of whether you are defining access for an EC2 instance, setting up a serverless Lambda function, or interacting with third-party identity providers. For the purpose of implementing fine-grained control and security, it is essential to have a comprehensive understanding of its components, which include roles, policies, users, groups, permissions restrictions, and condition keys. This is necessary in order to guarantee compliance and operational efficiency. It is the goal of this book to make the ideas and features of Identity and Access Management (IAM) more approachable and simpler to comprehend by presenting real-world use cases, best practices, and practical examples. There is a comprehensive coverage of identity management in the Amazon Web Services environment, ranging from simple configuration to intricate integrations with federated identity providers, service-linked roles, and access analyzers. In addition, topics such as the principles of least privilege, role-based access control (RBAC), single sign-on (SSO), and the process of automating security audits using tools such as CloudTrail and AWS Access Analyzer are discussed. By the time you reach the end of the book, you will have mastered the technical components of identity and access management (IAM) and obtained the strategic understanding necessary to better align the security policies of your firm with its goals.
