I AM USER

• It lets us manage access to AWS services and resources securely. Using I AM we can create and manage AWS users, groups, roles and use permissions to allow or deny their access to AWS resources.
• Manage users and their access: We can create users in IAM, assign them individual security credentials. We can manage permissions to control which operations a user can perform and which not.
• Manage roles and their permissions: We can create roles in IAM and manage permissions to control which operations can be performed by the entity, or AWS service, that assumes the role.
• Manage federated users and their permissions: We can enable identity federation to allow existing users, groups, and roles in our enterprise to access the AWS Management

S3 Services

(Simple Storage Service) — Storage service of AWS in which we can store objects like files, folders,images, documents, songs, etc. It cannot be used to install software, games or Operating System. This means customers of all sizes and industries can use it to store and protect any amount of data for a range of use cases, such as websites, mobile applications, backup and restore, archive, enterprise applications, IoT devices, and big data analytics. Amazon S3 provides easy-to-use management features so you can organize your data and configure finely-tuned access controls to meet your specific business, organizational, and compliance requirements.

Lambda

AWS’s serverless technology that allows you to run functions in the cloud. It’s a huge cost saver as you pay only when your functions execute. AWS Lambda lets you run code without provisioning or managing servers. With Lambda, you can run code for virtually any type of application or backend service – all with zero administration. Just upload your code and
Lambda takes care of everything required to run and scale your code with high availability. You can set up your code to automatically trigger from other AWS services or call it directly from any web or mobile app.

Simple Email Service

Amazon Simple Email Service (Amazon SES) is a cloud-based email sending service designed to help digital marketers and application developers send marketing, notification, and transactional emails. It is a reliable, cost-effective service for businesses of all sizes that use email to keep in contact with their customers. You can use our SMTP interface or one of the AWS SDKs to integrate Amazon SES directly into your existing applications. You can also integrate the email sending capabilities of Amazon SES into the software you already use, such as ticketing systems and email clients.
