AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) is a web service that helps you securely control access to AWS resources. You use IAM to control who is authenticated (signed in) and authorized (has permissions) to use resources. When you first create an AWS account, you begin with a single sign-in identity that has complete access to all AWS services and resources in the account. This identity is called the AWS account root user and is accessed by signing in with the email address and password that you used to create the account. We strongly recommend that you do not use the root user for your everyday tasks, even the administrative ones. Instead, adhere to the best practice of using the root user only to create your first IAM user. Then securely lock away the root user credentials and use them to perform only a few account and service management tasks.

Understand the IAM toolsets, capabilities, and paradigms of the AWS platform and learn how to apply practical identity use cases to AWS at the administrative and application level Key FeaturesLearn administrative lifecycle management and authorizationExtend workforce identity to AWS for applications deployed to Amazon Web Services (AWS)Understand how to use native AWS IAM capabilities with apps deployed to AWSBook Description AWS identity management offers a powerful yet complex array of native capabilities and connections to existing enterprise identity systems for administrative and application identity use cases. This book breaks down the complexities involved by adopting a use-case-driven approach that helps identity and cloud engineers understand how to use the right mix of native AWS capabilities and external IAM components to achieve the business and security outcomes they want. You will begin by learning about the IAM toolsets and paradigms within AWS. This will allow you to determine how to best leverage them for administrative control, extending workforce identities to the cloud, and using IAM toolsets and paradigms on an app deployed on AWS. Next, the book demonstrates how to extend your on-premise administrative IAM capabilities to the AWS backplane, as well as how to make your workforce identities available for AWS-deployed applications. In the concluding chapters, you'll learn how to use the native identity services with applications deployed on AWS. By the end of this IAM Amazon Web Services book, you will be able to build enterprise-class solutions for administrative and application identity using AWS IAM tools and external identity systems. What you will learnUnderstand AWS IAM concepts, terminology, and servicesExplore AWS IAM, Amazon Cognito, AWS SSO, and AWS Directory Service to solve customer and workforce identity problemsApply the concepts you learn about to solve business, process, and compliance challenges when expanding into AWSNavigate the AWS CLI to unlock the programmatic administration of AWSExplore how AWS IAM, its policy objects, and notational language can be applied to solve security and access management use casesRelate concepts easily to your own environment through IAM patterns and best practicesWho this book is for Identity engineers and administrators, cloud administrators, security architects, or anyone who wants to explore and manage IAM solutions in AWS will find this book useful.
