8.IAM Notes

Identity & Access Management (IAM) is a free service used to manage users, groups, policies, and roles in AWS. There are two types of accounts: the powerful root account and the IAM account, with the root account having unrestricted access to AWS resources. It is advised not to use the root account for daily activities, to keep its credentials secure, and to enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for added security.
