AWS IAM Core Concepts You NEED to Know

IAM (Identity and Access Management) is a foundational concept/service in AWS. If you're just getting started on your cloud journey, you NEED to understand this well.

In this video, I walk through what IAM is and how it is used to grant permissions to access other AWS services. I walk you through what IAM is through a practical example, and explain concepts such as IAM Policies, IAM Roles, Permissions, IAM Groups, IAM Trust Relationships, and many more concepts.

Great content my friend. It has been mentioned here multiple times so I will just reiterate the sentiment. Your voice is one that is easy to listen to. You speak clearly, present the important facts and as you said, "need to see it visually" and since I am gunning for a few AWS certs by September, your instructions will come in very handy over the next few weeks so thank you very much! You have a new subscriber!

I like your videos. I find it surprising that you are only a developer. I am an architect, and I understand cloud very well architecturally, but I have to relearn the implementation details for each provider each time I do something TO IT. U do a very good job of explaining the details of implementation; thanks.
