User Security in the Cloud
Hey Friends,
Today, we will learn and understand all about User Security in the Cloud, specifically IAM.
🚨 One fundamental cloud security topic is Identity and Access Management (IAM).
👨💻 It's used to control who can access your resources and what actions they can perform on those resources.
🔐 IAM is important for security because it helps you ensure that only authorised individuals or systems can access your resources. This is critical in today's digital landscape, where data breaches and cyber attacks are becoming more common.
👥 To use IAM, you'll need to create IAM users, groups, and roles. An IAM user is an individual who can access your AWS resources, while a group is a collection of users who have the same permissions. A role is a set of permissions you can assign to AWS services or resources.
🪣 Once you've created your users, groups, and roles, you can assign permissions to them based on the actions they need to perform on your resources. For example, you might give developers access to an Amazon S3 bucket but only allow them to read and write to certain folders within that bucket.
🔑 To access AWS resources using IAM, users will need to sign in using their IAM credentials. These credentials include a username and password or access keys that can be used with AWS APIs.
