Description

Welcome to the AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) Foundations Certification Course.

In this course we will explore AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM).

IAM is a very important part of understanding how to securely and efficiently manage the services and users within an AWS account.

As defined by AWS, “AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) is a web service that helps you securely control access to AWS resources. You use IAM to control who is authenticated (signed in) and authorized (has permissions) to use resources.”

When creating an AWS account, the default account is the Root account. This root account has complete access to all AWS services and resources on the account. The root account should only be used to perform a few account and service management tasks.

Each service deployed in an AWS account should only be accessible to users permitted to use the service.

This course will explore the following components of IAM with hands-on exercises:

  • Allowing multiple users to administer the resources in an AWS account without having to share passwords.

  • Creating granular permissions for AWS users. This means each IAM user can be granted a different level of privileges for different resources in the AWS account.

  • Applying IAM credentials to applications, thus providing the application with access to specified AWS services.

  • Enabling Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for individual IAM Users.

  • Enabling access records and logging for IAM Users using AWS CloutTrail.

If you are interested in learning how to securely manage an AWS account using IAM, hit the enroll button and let's get started.

It was a good introductory course that eases you into the AWS IAM world. This is not enough but gives you a great foundation to skill up.

This course was completely disappointing. There's two sections to this course. The first section is of little-to-no value. Trust was lost by the start of the second section. A lot of time is wasted with long intro rock music, long-winded explanations about common-sense actions (ex: logging into AWS, how to find "Access Advisor", remove a user from a group, etc.), and long pauses (even at 1.5X speed). The course is not hands-on; it's mostly lecturing from Powerpoint slides. This makes the course's concepts seem abstract which creates a disconnect to the actual application within AWS (go here, do this). Very light on the technical details, often handing you a "to-do" to visit some link from the AWS documentation. By the near-end of the course, my interest-level plummeted lower with each passing lesson. I was so bored and disinterested.

Curso básico para para saber configurar el IAM de AWS. Me sirvió como reforzamiento para seguir estudiando el exámen AWS Cloud Practitioner. El curso parece que lo dividieron, ya que este termina abruptamente, y también hay algunos videos en que el contenido enseñado en la primera sección es parecido y algo repetitivo al de la segunda sección.
