How to implement IAM policy checks with Visual Studio Code and IAM Access Analyzer
- IAM Access Analyzer custom policy check feature is used to validate your policies against custom rules.
- You can now bring these policy checks directly into your work environment with the AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio Code (VS Code).
- This proactive approach helps to ensure that your IAM policies are validated before they are deployed.
- You can perform four types of checks with IAM policy checks option, for example ValidatePolicy and CheckNoPublicAccess.
- The ValidatePolicy check returns recommended suggestions to align policies with AWS best practices.
- The CheckNoPublicAccess check helps prevent unauthorized public access to resources.
- The CheckAccessNotGranted checks if the policy allows access to certain resources and permissions.
- The CheckNoNewAccess check validates that permissions granted remain within the intended scope.
- The integration of IAM Access Analyzer in your development workflow helps to make sure IAM policies adhere to best practices.
- Install or update the AWS Toolkit for VS Code today, and make sure that you have the CloudFormation Policy Validator or Terraform Policy Validator.
