Build Your Own CloudTrail
09-17, 16:30–16:50 (Europe/Brussels), Main Room

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.
