AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM)
AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM)
AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) enables you to manage access to AWS services and resources securely. Using IAM, you can create and manage AWS users and groups, and use permissions to allow and deny their access to AWS resources. IAM is a feature of your AWS account offered at no additional charge. You will be charged only for use of other AWS services by your users. IAM enables your users to control access to AWS service APIs and to specific resources. IAM also enables you to add specific conditions such as time of day to control how a user can use AWS, their originating IP address, whether they are using SSL, or whether they have authenticated with a multi-factor authentication device. Protect your AWS environment by using AWS MFA, a security feature available at no extra cost that augments user name and password credentials. MFA requires users to prove physical possession of a hardware MFA token or MFA-enabled mobile device by providing a valid MFA code.

    Posted 2020-08-24

    Pros: User Management is easy.
    Integrates well with AWS services like Lambda.
    Works with Facebook and Google login.
    Supports encryption and multi factor authentication.

    Cons: Requires a decent learning curve for setting it up.
    Documentation needs to be simplified more.

    Overall: Amazon Cognito is a great way to implement secure login to your application. It requires some effort to setup but once done, the user management is quite easy and it integrates really well with other AWS services like Lambda.
