AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) helps securely control who can access AWS resources and what actions they can perform. It is a global service provided at no additional cost.

Key Concepts :-
• Users & Groups: Organize identities and manage permissions efficiently.
• Policies & Roles: Define permissions and provide secure access.
• Root User: Avoid using the root account for everyday tasks.
• MFA: Adds an extra layer of login security.
• Password Policies: Help enforce strong password standards.Accessing AWS :-
• Management Console: Manage AWS services through a graphical interface.
• AWS CLI: Automate tasks using command-line instructions. Protect access keys and never share them publicly.
Auditing & Monitoring :-
• Credential Report: Review user credentials and MFA status.
• Access Advisor: Check service-access information to identify unnecessary permissions.
