In this episode, we introduce you to the basics of AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM), focusing on users and groups. IAM allows you to securely control access to AWS services and resources, and understanding how to manage users and groups is essential for maintaining a secure cloud environment. We’ll explain how to create IAM users and groups, assign permissions, and use best practices to keep your AWS environment organized and secure.Additionally, we’ll explore the benefits of grouping IAM users based on their roles and responsibilities, and how this helps simplify permission management. You’ll also learn how to use managed policies versus custom policies to assign specific permissions. By the end of this episode, you’ll have a solid foundation in IAM users and groups, which will be essential for managing access and enforcing the principle of least privilege in your AWS account.
