🙏 Introduction:
In this blog, we will explore AWS basics AWS & IAM
AWS :
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a cloud computing platform by Amazon offering various services like storage, computing power, databases, and more. It allows businesses to use these services without needing physical hardware, making it flexible and cost-effective. It's popular for creating, deploying, and managing applications online.
IAM :
AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) is a web service that helps you securely control access to AWS resources. With IAM, you can centrally manage permissions that control which AWS resources users can access. You use IAM to control who is authenticated (signed in) and authorized (has permissions) to use resources.
