AWS user security with IAM
- Managing who or what has access to your AWS account can be overwhelming. If you only use one login, that's not much control, and no way to tell who did what. AWS's Identity and Access Management sometimes called I-A-M or IAM, allows you to create and manage who can log in and how. Some users may need to log into the website and manage services. Other users may need access keys to use other tools or develop apps. And in other cases a service, like a Lambda, may need access to another service like a DynamoDB. IAM allows you to manage all of this in one place. You define user accounts for users and roles for services. In both of those cases, you add policies that specify what they have access to, and the rest is off limits. I'm Bear Cahill, Head Binary Sequencer at Brainwash Inc.
