This article discusses how to use CDK pipelines to create a pipeline for managing identity center authorization, and AWS IAM Access Analyzer to securely control access to AWS resources.
The solution architecture of the pipeline is described, with the IAM Identity Center delegated to an administrator account, allowing Securely manage identities and access centrally across AWS accounts and applications through AWS IAM.
The article discusses the requirements of validate-aws-policies, Python, CDK, cdk_nag AWS IAM Access Analyzer, AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK), AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM), AWS CodeBuild, AWS CodePipeline, AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS), AWS CloudFormation, AWS Lambda, and AWS Chatbot.
The article describes the hands-on steps involved in creating the code, including delegating the IAM Identity Center administration, parametrizing the project properties, and deploying the pipeline using the CDK deploy command.
The article warns that the Github connection is disabled by default, and must be enabled through the console.
The article concludes by providing a direct link to the example code for the pipeline.
