Automated user migration and management of AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) resources

<p>In this project based on a real-world scenario, I acted as Cloud Specialist with the mission to migrate users in an automated way and manage AWS IAM (Identity and Access Management) resources.</p> <p>There were 100 users that needed to be migrated and have MFA (Multi-factor authentication) enabled on their accounts, as this is a security best practice.</p> <p>To avoid repetitive and manual tasks in the AWS console, I needed to think about automating the processes.</p> <p><img alt="" src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:700/1*AE_ZAX_PBZlbp9eByk9L8g.png" style="height:394px; width:700px" /></p> <p>The company provided me with a spreadsheet containing the users data which I had to edit to fit the automation script that would be used later. First I created the IAM groups related to the users roles in the spreadsheet, then I headed to the AWS console, downloaded the script through&nbsp;<em>wget</em>&nbsp;command, the spreadsheet, the script dependencies and ran the script. In a few seconds the IAM users were created.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@daniel8bits/automated-user-migration-and-management-of-aws-identity-and-access-management-iam-resources-f592e83c430b"><strong>Read More</strong></a></p>
