There are no limits to what IAM can help you with: prevent mistakes; secure your assets; organise both your team and your micro services; partition customer access to your data. We will give you a hands-on, nuts-and-bolts walk through real examples of common IAM uses that we employ in our day to day work. The aim is to make you want to go away and experiment with IAM yourself, becoming more familiar and confident with it, which in turn will help your understanding of and confidence with using AWS itself.

15. With an IAM-first approach we gain:
• free, continuous enforcement of contracts
between services
• an easy, building-block technique for designing
our architecture
• clean, easy-to-read policies
• reduced risk of unexpected bills
16. • AWS in 2019 mirrors language design of 1980s
• Objects / processes that pass messages between one
another
• SmallTalk, Erlang…
• Since then: strong typing and access annotation
• Don’t yet have strong typing
• … but IAM policies are a form of access annotation
