Episode 29: IAM Roles & Policies

In this episode, we dive deeper into IAM roles and policies, essential elements for managing access to AWS resources. IAM roles allow you to delegate permissions to AWS services or users, enabling secure interactions between resources. We’ll explore the difference between roles and users, and explain when to use roles instead of creating individual user accounts for specific services or applications.We’ll also cover IAM policies, which define what actions are allowed or denied on specific AWS resources. We’ll contrast managed policies (predefined policies provided by AWS) with custom policies (created by you to meet specific needs), and explain the benefits and drawbacks of each. Understanding how to create and assign IAM roles and policies is crucial for controlling access securely and efficiently in AWS. By the end of this episode, you’ll be able to apply IAM roles and policies to create a secure access management system for your AWS resources.
