>> Hello, and welcome back.
00:00
In this module, we're going to be covering
00:00
a service called Identity and Access Management,
00:00
otherwise known as IAM.
00:00
In this module, we're going to be covering a few
00:00
of the following topics and
00:00
then probably be rabbit trailing
00:00
throughout the rest of the module.
00:00
We're going to start off by
00:00
talking about IAM users and groups.
00:00
This is really like an organizational tool or
00:00
practice that we use
00:00
and this is offered within the service,
00:00
but if you've been using identity and access management,
00:00
then you probably know that you can
00:00
use users and groups and
00:00
other flavors doesn't have to necessarily be AWS's IAM,
00:00
it can be Azure, it can be Microsoft Active Directory.
00:00
They all have a similar idea and it allows us
00:00
to basically handle users
00:00
and the permissions and how we group it.
00:00
That leads us on to number 2 here,
00:00
which is IAM policies.
00:00
Policies are the rules that we allow or
00:00
disallow for users and for services, and for roles.
00:00
We'll talk all about that there.
00:00
For section number 3,
00:00
we're going to talk about MFA and how to set that up,
00:00
which is really important to do in
00:00
the cloud being that it is open to the Internet.
00:00
You want to make sure that you have all your security
00:00
in place for access control,
00:00
and so MFA is very important.
00:00
It's like cloud security tip 101 there.
00:00
Number 4 is going to be access keys,
00:00
command-line interface, and
00:00
software development keys or SDKs.
00:00
We're going to be talking about IAM roles.
00:00
We're going to talk about security services
00:00
for identity access management,
00:00
and then some common best practices.
00:00
That's about it, let's go ahead and dive into
00:00
the first official lesson for
00:00
this module and I'll see you there.
