Implementing Identity Management on AWS

Chapter 1: An Introduction to IAM and AWS IAM Concepts

Identity is the perimeter of security, and every transaction, capability, administrative event, and infrastructure component of cloud providers such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) ultimately depends upon identity services to govern all its capabilities. If that scope wasn't large enough already, tying AWS' native capabilities to an existing enterprise, customer, administrative, or infrastructure identity deployment can seem so complex as to make it difficult for cloud identity administrators to know how or where to start. This book will help you overcome the paralysis caused by the capabilities of the platform by approaching the implementation of AWS IAM (IAM) in a use case driven fashion, informed by real experiences working in large enterprise AWS environments.

By the end of this chapter, you will be familiar with the foundational concepts of IAM and see how they are applied within an organization. You will learn the purpose of the AWS IAM service, its components, and how they all work together to secure access to AWS resources. Finally, you'll use the AWS Management Console to create and manage AWS IAM resources, including IAM users, groups, and policies.

This chapter will cover the following topics:

  • Understanding IAM
  • Exploring AWS IAM
  • Putting it all together

Technical requirements

To get the most out of this chapter, you will need the following:

  • A web browser
  • An AWS account

Key benefits

  • Learn administrative lifecycle management and authorization
  • Extend workforce identity to AWS for applications deployed to Amazon Web Services (AWS)
  • Understand how to use native AWS IAM capabilities with apps deployed to AWS

Description

AWS identity management offers a powerful yet complex array of native capabilities and connections to existing enterprise identity systems for administrative and application identity use cases. This book breaks down the complexities involved by adopting a use-case-driven approach that helps identity and cloud engineers understand how to use the right mix of native AWS capabilities and external IAM components to achieve the business and security outcomes they want. You will begin by learning about the IAM toolsets and paradigms within AWS. This will allow you to determine how to best leverage them for administrative control, extending workforce identities to the cloud, and using IAM toolsets and paradigms on an app deployed on AWS. Next, the book demonstrates how to extend your on-premise administrative IAM capabilities to the AWS backplane, as well as how to make your workforce identities available for AWS-deployed applications. In the concluding chapters, you’ll learn how to use the native identity services with applications deployed on AWS. By the end of this IAM Amazon Web Services book, you will be able to build enterprise-class solutions for administrative and application identity using AWS IAM tools and external identity systems.

Who is this book for?

Identity engineers and administrators, cloud administrators, security architects, or anyone who wants to explore and manage IAM solutions in AWS will find this book useful. Basic knowledge of AWS cloud infrastructure and services is required to understand the concepts covered in the book more effectively.

What you will learn

  • Understand AWS IAM concepts, terminology, and services
  • Explore AWS IAM, Amazon Cognito, AWS SSO, and AWS Directory Service to solve customer and workforce identity problems
  • Apply the concepts you learn about to solve business, process, and compliance challenges when expanding into AWS
  • Navigate the AWS CLI to unlock the programmatic administration of AWS
  • Explore how AWS IAM, its policy objects, and notational language can be applied to solve security and access management use cases
  • Relate concepts easily to your own environment through IAM patterns and best practices

Identity Management on AWS is incredibly powerful, and that power can make it intimidating, even to someone with years of IAM experience. Whether you're just getting started with AWS or have years of experience managing identity in a large, global enterprise, it's critical that you get Identity Management right to protect your intellectual property and your investment in AWS hosting. This book covers it all, from soup to nuts. It's very logically laid out with each chapter building on the last. It's full of real-world examples and references for where you can go to learn even more. This book will take the mystery out of AWS IAM. It's now my go-to reference for all things AWS IAM.

This tome contains vast sums of knowledge and arranges it in sensible and relatable ways. Targeted at neophytes and old hands alike this book conveys everything one would need to know in order to build a fresh, well-managed environment or return to an existing environment with a more holistic understanding of the security model as it relates to users and identities.The book is loaded with command examples, concept definitions, and sample code all written in a clean clear way that can be used in your own environments.Finally; if you have ever had a question about how AWS handles IAM, individuals granted permissions, or how to harden an environment from an access management perspective then this is a title that you should pick up.

This book gets better each time I go through it and it's honestly the single best resource for any AWS service that I've ever read. Step by step, concept by concept, service by service, the author builds a strong foundation to build the reader's knowledge upon. The detail associated with the system descriptions, followed by real-world examples and in-depth, but easily-understandable, explanations makes this book not just technically valuable but accessible to developers and identity practitioners at almost every level. I bought my own copy plus my partner and I each bought copies for our sons who are entering the cybersecurity field. This book goes to the top of my list of resources I recommend to those new to the space, as well as seasoned pros who still struggle with the complexities of these services. Well done and here's to hoping the author continues to produce such work for other services.

wish I had realized that it was published in 2021 because it's no longer relevant. Got stalled out in the first example because adding your first non-root IAM user has changed since this was published. It seems like a well-written guide otherwise so hopefully they update it. AWS is great but their IAM is a horrible, terrible, no-good system. It makes azure look straightforward.
