iam-security

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the critical need for robust security in AWS by providing best practices and patterns for designing and implementing secure Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies and roles.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Least Privilege Policies: Design IAM policies that grant only the minimum necessary permissions.
• Role Configuration: Set up IAM roles for services (like ECS tasks) and cross-account access.
• Advanced Controls: Implement conditional access, permissions boundaries, and OIDC for CI/CD.
• Use Case: When setting up a new microservice on AWS ECS, use this Skill to define a secure IAM task role that can only access specific S3 buckets and Secrets Manager secrets required by the service.

Quick Start

Use the iam-security skill to generate a least-privilege IAM policy for an ECS task role that needs to read from a specific S3 bucket and retrieve secrets from Secrets Manager.
