AWS IAM

AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) is a service that controls who can access your Amazon Web Services resources and what they can do with them. It allows you to create and manage user accounts, assign permissions, and set security policies to ensure that only authorized individuals or applications can perform specific actions. Think of it as a security system for your cloud environment, enabling precise control over access and operations, thereby protecting your data and resources from unauthorized use while enabling collaboration and automation.
