Introduction

As more and more infrastructure transitions to the cloud, ensuring robust access security becomes increasingly important. AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) provides a comprehensive solution for controlling access to AWS services and resources securely. It allows organizations to grant entities access to AWS accounts and ensure that the access is limited to only the required resources and services. This not only minimizes the risk of unauthorized access and potential security breaches but also allows us to be compliant with the required security standards.

In this section, we'll discuss the IAM services that we can use to implement the required secure access in our account. We'll also discuss some other services that assist us in managing the AWS accounts.
