About this course
Security is at the heart of every successful cloud deployment—and AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) is the foundation of that security. In “AWS IAM: The Cloud Engineer's Secure Cloud Handbook,” you'll get a practical, hands-on guide to mastering IAM and protecting your AWS resources with precision and confidence.
Designed for aspiring and experienced cloud engineers, this course walks you through the complete lifecycle of IAM, from understanding user identities and access policies to implementing advanced security measures like MFA, key management, and policy simulation. Whether you're provisioning new users, managing roles, creating custom policies, or securing access through the CLI, each module gives you real-world skills you can apply immediately in production environments.
You’ll begin with a solid overview of IAM concepts and its role in AWS environments. From there, you'll dive into identity management—creating and managing users, groups, and roles. The course then covers access management, where you’ll use IAM to control access to AWS resources, build custom policies, and apply roles for services like EC2. Finally, you’ll learn how to secure IAM itself, enforce password policies, enable multi-factor authentication (MFA), and implement AWS best practices to harden your environment.
Each section includes hands-on activities and downloadable handouts to reinforce learning, making this course ideal for both guided training and on-the-job reference. By the end of the course, you'll have a clear, working knowledge of AWS IAM and the tools to manage cloud identity and access securely.
Learning Objectives
