Chapter 2. Security and Access Management

In the previous chapter, we accomplished a lot of things. To begin with, we got a better understanding of what cloud computing actually is all about and how you as an end user can benefit by leveraging it. Later on in the chapter, you had a brief overview of AWS, its architecture, and its core service offerings and also learned how to sign up for it.

In this chapter, you are going to learn a bit more about how to secure and provide users access to your AWS infrastructure and services. The chapter will first talk about security in general, and how AWS provides some of the best security there is. Later on, we will look at an AWS core service called as Identity and Access Management (IAM) and find out how to create, manage, and administer users using it.
