What can we learn from applying the principles and architecture of AWS IAM to our own services running in the cloud?
Cedar is an open-source authorization policy framework created by AWS. We used Cedar to build an authorization framework to secure our services, with an architecture inspired by AWS IAM - complete with our very own CloudTrail audit logging. In this talk I'll share what we learned from this, as well as actionable IAM practices to adopt.
Chris is the cofounder of Common Fate and the creator of Granted, an open-source CLI for accessing AWS.
