Section 3: Implementing IAM on AWS for Application Use Cases

Modern organizations often have a hybrid cloud/data center strategy for their internal application portfolio. Whereas AWS-deployed applications could reach back into the on-premises data center to look up user attributes, replicating that information to the cloud using AWS Directory Services provides a better user experience and increased developer flexibility. Additionally, organizations can leverage Amazon Cognito to facilitate application identity use cases for AWS-hosted applications, all while retaining their existing identity provider as the authoritative source of user identity information.

This part of the book comprises the following chapters:

  • Chapter 11, Bringing Your Users into AWS
  • Chapter 12, AWS-Hosted Application Single Sign-On Using an Existing Identity Provider
