Who this book is for

Identity on AWS may be well-trodden ground, but that doesn’t make it any more inviting for the uninitiated. AWS’ own documentation, while comprehensive, can be abstruse to those who are not approaching the platform or their own use case from a developer’s perspective. The experience of many enterprise IAM practitioners is being thrown into the deep end to figure out how to solve a business identity problem on AWS through an implementation. With so many services appearing to offer such similar capabilities for similar use cases, getting up to speed, especially under a deadline, can be daunting.

This book was written to introduce IAM practitioners to identity on AWS with a use case-driven perspective. By using the language, patterns, and perspective of an enterprise identity practitioner, I aim to make this topic much more approachable.
