About this course

A large aspect of the daily responsibilities of cloud security involves monitoring, controlling, and optimizing identity and access management (IAM) of cloud resources and services. In fact, IAM is at the top of the AWS security triad pyramid; the other two being infrastructure security and key management. In this course, you will explore the key concepts of IAM at AWS, beginning with the least privilege principle and root account protection. Then you will discover how to work with AWS IAM, AWS IAM Identity Center. Finally, you will compare multi-factor authentication options and define cross-account roles. This course is one of a collection that prepares learners for the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) exam.

Amazon has come a long way from just selling books — and not just because it’s become a one-stop shop for everything from toilet paper to grocery deliveries. Thanks to businesses shifting operations and infrastructure to the cloud, systems and applications that used to run right down the hall in a server room are now hosted in a remote data center. One of these cloud providers is Amazon Web Services (AWS). As with all digital solutions, you need people to work with, manage, and improve them, which is where AWS developers come into play.

Read on to learn what an AWS Developer does, the skills you need to become one, the salary you can expect to earn, and how you can get closer to your AWS professional goals by learning to code.
