AWS IAM cost saving tips Optimize your AWS IAM costs with these tips

#1

Use IAM roles

Rather than utilizing long-term access keys, leverage IAM roles - these provide temporary credentials, mitigating the need for frequent key rotation or revocation.

#2

Implement least privilege

Establish granular policies only granting necessary permissions - this reduces unneeded access and the risk of incurring unexpected costs.

#3

Utilize IAM groups

Allocate common policies to multiple users via IAM groups rather than duplicating policies. This simplifies access management and makes updating permissions easier.

About AWS IAM

AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) is a secure tool for managing access to AWS services and resources. It enables precise control of user permissions and offers continuous analysis for refining access. IAM provides temporary security credentials for workloads accessing AWS resources. It helps in attribute-based access control, managing per-account access, scaling access, setting organization-wide guardrails, and matching permissions for minimal privilege.
