🔶 Authenticating to AWS the right way for (almost) every use-case

Lee Briggs covers the right way to authenticate to AWS in a variety of scenarios:

1️⃣ Authenticate to AWS as a Human User: AWS IAM Identity Center

2️⃣ Authenticate to AWS as an EC2 Instance: IAM Role, possibly Instance Profile

3️⃣ Authenticate to AWS as an application that only manages content in an S3 bucket: Presigned URLs

4️⃣ Authenticate to AWS as a CI/CD Pipeline: OIDC Providers

5️⃣ Authenticate to AWS as compute I manage that isn’t running inside AWS: IAM Roles Anywhere
