Brilliant use of 'e' to tee up expectations for the session. I've been cutting and trying IAM and stopped here to get a deeper understanding and you delivered much appreciated insight.

Best description I've seen of IAM. Lens of control plane - data plane is key!

This is the first time I've tried to understand what happens when an API call is made to a resource. How granular control we have over who gets what. Presentation was good and it gave a deep insight to where we need to strict the policies and where to not. Kudos Sister.

Extremely smart talk! Interesting about the Control and Data Planes. Seldom discussed in AWS especially as pertaining to IAM. Great discussion S3 permissions, which I was recently asked during an interview. Thanks Becky!

lol yup differential of exp(x) is itself -- maybe IAM is just as natural, a feature of nature - natural access management :D Like the explanation of the vision behind IAM, the resilience, availability and caching behind it.

Good stuff, but the guy helping people find a seat was super distracting.

wish the chubby guy would just sit down and stop blocking the camera

IAM should be a fascinating topic but you made it stale by talking about other unrelated things... boring presentation!
