Summary

In this chapter, we took a few moments to plan out our administrative model for an enterprise AWS deployment. We did this so we could accommodate the business requirements with a full understanding of the organization's IAM maturity and current-state capabilities, which will help us design administrative patterns that will be supportive in the long term. Once we had thought through the use cases, requirements, and capabilities, we designed and applied some high-level OU SCPs that will govern all the AWS accounts that we will be administrating moving forward.

We will build upon this foundational work in the next two chapters. First, in the next chapter, we will connect Redbeard Identity's external IDP and provision our administrative users into AWS SSO. Then, in Chapter 11, Bringing Your Users into AWS, we will address authentication and authorization use cases for those users into the AWS backplane.
