This chapter covered advanced IAM features and tools:
- IAM Roles Anywhere: Configure and use for hybrid cloud identity management
- Advanced Condition Keys: Implement context-aware access control policies
- Policy Simulator: Test and evaluate IAM policies before deployment
- Custom Management Tools: Build automation tools for bulk operations
- DevOps Integration: Integrate IAM with CI/CD pipelines
Through this chapter, you have learned to:
