👥 Cloud Identity and Access Management (IAM) 🔓
- The GitHub repository 'Cloud-Computing' focuses on setting up virtual machines, S3, and services using LocalStack for local AWS simulation.
- Identity and Access Management (IAM) in AWS ensures secure control over access to services and resources.
- IAM includes key concepts like identities (users, groups, roles), policies, roles with temporary credentials, and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).
- Best practices for IAM involve implementing the Least Privilege Principle, enabling MFA, using IAM roles for services, and regular access key rotation.
- Real-world IAM use cases include enterprise-level Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and compliance enforcement in institutions like financial organizations.
- IAM implementation with LocalStack involves creating users, roles, attaching policies, and managing permissions efficiently for testing before deployment in AWS.
- Commands like creating users, roles, attaching policies, and listing users/roles with expected outputs help streamline IAM management.
- IAM roles facilitate secure interactions between AWS services like EC2 and resources, ensuring temporary credentials are securely assigned.
- The Trust Policy document defines which services or users can assume an IAM role, enabling controlled access to resources.
- IAM setup enables users to manage access to AWS services effectively, promoting security, compliance, and streamlined access management.
