AWS for Devs

This is documentation of my learnings from from the Linkedin course on AWS for Developers.

Identity and Access Management (IAM)

New accounts come with a root level user that has permissions to do everything including deleting the account.

  • It is best practice to another user and give that user permissions for administration access but it will not be able to delete the account
  • Users get permissions through policies that are attached to a user
    • You can create policies in bulk by using groups
  • Services have roles and a user has permissions for determining their access
    • Roles have policies just like permissions
