IAM (Identity and Access Management) is a foundational concept/service in AWS. If you're just getting started on your cloud journey, you NEED to understand this well. In this video, I walk through what IAM is and how it is used to grant permissions to access other AWS services. I walk you through what IAM is through a practical example, and explain concepts such as IAM Policies, IAM Roles, Permissions, IAM Groups, IAM Trust Relationships, and many more concepts.
