Introduction to IAM

Not just IAM fundamentals, but the most important parts that lead to advanced usage.

This video reviews what you're about to learn:

1. Policies - JSON documents that define who can do what on which things
2. Users - IAM users, on which you can create API access keys
3. Groups - Granting users permissions through groups
4. Roles - The fundamental and most important part of IAM

IAM underpins every aspect of AWS (and all clouds). Here you'll (finally) understand this foundational part of AWS, especially the focus on Roles.
