Welcome to Unit 7 of ITEC5060 Cloud Application Deployment and Operations. This week we will focus on security with a couple of labs aimed at using IAM to define policy and a lab to enforce security rules around areal world practice.
Study
· IAM Roles. Retrieved from https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_roles.html
Assignment
In the first lab we will be using IAM to manage access to a S3 storage bucket.
Access the following lab: Implement an IAM Security Policy
You will take 2 screenshots during this lab at a place of your choice, but they should support your lab narrative
Write a 2-3-page double-spaced paper summarizing your lab experience. Outside of the lab example, how can IAM policies be used to provide security? How could they be used by your employer?
Submit both the screenshots and the paper summarizing your lab experience to the assignment for this unit. You may embed the 2 screenshots into your paper and submit a single document if you wish.
Submit your assignment documents by 11:59 on Sunday of this week.

Assignment 2
In the second lab, we will take another look at the virtual infrastructure level to secure systems. This is equally as important as IAM as the combination results in a defense-in-depth approach.
Perform the following lab: Can You Implement Secure Access to a Service?
You will take 2 screenshots during this lab that support your lab narrative
Write a 2-3 page double-spaced paper summarizing your lab experience. While summarizing your lab experience, consider how using the security features explored in the lab provide security in real-world, internet-exposed settings. What would you do to improve that security?
