"AWS IAM - heart of AWS security"

5/5

What do you like best about AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM)?

AWS Identity and Access Managemen (IAM) is a user and access control service. It'a allows you to create new users, add permissions, manage access keys and many more. You can create groups of users for easy access management. Permissions are granted using policies (document that defines allowed actions). What's really cool is that policie can be attach not only to users but to EC2 instances as well so your application can run certain actions without credentials saved on local drives. AWS provides a lot of preconfigured policies that can be use as a templates. IAM can integrate smoothly with Active Directory and almost all AWS services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM)?

It's actually good as it is. I could imagine more friendly GUI for policies generator. It could allows you to chose individual services and fill ARN dynamically. Searching for ARN can be a challenge sometimes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
