How can you secure your AWS account using IAM?
Share your IAM credentials with colleagues
Use the same access key forever
Create IAM users with appropriate permissions, enable MFA, rotate access keys, use IAM roles for EC2 instances, and review IAM policies.
Never review or update IAM policies
What is multi-factor authentication (MFA) and why is it important in IAM?
MFA is a process that is not necessary in IAM as it does not provide any additional security benefits.
MFA is a security process that requires users to provide two or more forms of identification before accessing an account. It enhances security in IAM by adding an extra layer of protection.
MFA is a process that decreases security in IAM by making it easier for unauthorized users to access accounts.
MFA is a process that only requires one form of identification for accessing an account.
How can you grant permissions to users in IAM?
Create policies, attach policies to IAM groups or users, and ensure users are part of those groups.
Grant access manually
Use a magic spell to assign permissions
Send an email with permissions
What is the IAM policy simulator and how can it be useful?
The IAM policy simulator is a feature that allows users to create new IAM policies.
The IAM policy simulator is a tool provided by AWS that allows users to test and validate the permissions set in their IAM policies.
The IAM policy simulator is a service provided by Google Cloud Platform.
The IAM policy simulator is a tool for managing S3 buckets.
What are best practices for managing IAM users and groups?
Never review or update permissions
Assign all permissions directly to individual users
