    You already use AWS IAM

    AWS IAM is the only essential AWS service. While it's easy to get started with IAM, it's hard to master, and getting it wrong can cost you... A lot!

    ​

    As part of the AWS Shared Responsibility Model, you're responsible for your security in the cloud, and IAM is a big part of how you do that.

    ​

    In this book, you'll get:

    • Simple, clear explanations how use AWS IAM correctly
    • Diagrams to help you understand advanced concepts quickly
    • Cheatsheets for easy reference
