This session introduces the concepts of AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) and walks through the tools and strategies you can use to control access to your AWS environment. We describe IAM users, groups, and roles and how to use them. We demonstrate how to create IAM users and roles, and grant them various types of permissions to access AWS APIs and resources.

This document provides an overview and agenda for an AWS Systems Manager November 2020 meetup. It discusses the key capabilities of AWS Systems Manager including SSM documents, managed instances, resource groups, RUN commands, hybrid activations, patch manager, inventory, session manager, automation, parameter store, distributor, and OpsCenter/Explorer. It also includes demonstrations of creating RUN commands, hybrid activations, patching processes, state manager associations, and installing software using distributor.

Identity and Access Management (IAM) is first step towards AWS cloud adoption because in the cloud, first you grant access and only then can you provision infrastructure (the opposite approach of on-premises). In this session, you will learn how to define fine-grained access to AWS resources via users, roles, and groups; design privileged user and multi-factor authentication mechanisms; and operate IAM at scale. Level: 100 Speaker: Don Edwards - Sr. Technical Delivery Manager, AWS

Identity and access management (IAM) is the security discipline that enables the right individuals to access the right resources at the right times for the right reasons. IAM enables you to securely control access to your application or product services and resources for your users.

How do you create APIs? When publishing a new API there are a lot of factors to consider: Versioning, Network Management, Authorization, Ecosystem Management, and finally client SDKs. Amazon API Gateway is a fully managed service that makes it easy for developers to publish, maintain, monitor, and secure APIs at any scale. With Amazon API Gateway, you can quickly declare an API interface and connect it to existing web services running on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) or code running on AWS Lambda, and generate an SDK for client applications to access the API. Amazon API Gateway handles all the tasks involved in accepting and processing up to hundreds of thousands of concurrent API calls, including traffic management, authorization and access control, monitoring, and API version management. Amazon API Gateway has no minimum fees or startup costs, and you pay only for the API calls you receive and the amount of data transferred. Learning Objectives: Learn how to create APIs in the AWS Cloud without managing a single server with AWS Lambda Learn how to manage stages and versions of your APIs Learn how to map parameters and transform data in flight

Amazon GuardDuty is a threat detection service that monitors AWS accounts and the applications within them for malicious or unauthorized behavior. It uses machine learning, threat intelligence feeds, and other techniques to detect both known and unknown threats. GuardDuty analyzes AWS CloudTrail logs, VPC flow logs, and DNS logs to generate detailed findings on issues like reconnaissance, unauthorized access, and crypto-currency mining. It also integrates with other AWS services like Lambda and CloudWatch Events.

As serverless architectures become more popular, customers are looking for a framework of patterns to help them identify how they can leverage AWS to deploy their workloads without managing servers or operating systems. This webinar session describes reusable serverless patterns. For each pattern, operational and security best practices with potential pitfalls and nuances will be described. The patterns involve services including but not limited to AWS Lambda, Amazon API Gateway, Amazon Kinesis Data Streams and Data Firehose, Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon S3, AWS Step Functions, AWS Config, AWS X-Ray, and Amazon Athena. This session can help audience recognise candidates for various serverless architectures in an organisation and understand areas of potential savings and increased agility. For example, using X-Ray in Lambda for tracing and operational insight; a pattern on high performance computing (HPC) using Lambda at scale; Step Functions as a way to handle orchestration for both the Automation and Batch patterns; a pattern for Security Automation using AWS Config rules to detect and automatically remediate violations of security standards; CI/CD development pipelines for serverless, which includes testing, deploying, and versioning (SAM tools); working with services from AI/ML area; plus tips to optimise Lambda functions for performance and cost-effectiveness.

The document discusses serverless architectures using AWS Lambda and Amazon API Gateway. It provides background on moving from monolithic to microservices architectures. It then covers AWS Lambda functions, event sources, and networking environments. Amazon API Gateway is presented as a way to build multi-tier serverless applications. Common serverless architecture patterns and best practices for AWS Lambda, API Gateway, and general serverless development are outlined. The document concludes with a demonstration of a simple CRUD backend using Lambda and DynamoDB with API Gateway.

In this session, we depict the key challenges of deploying an API management solution and how WSO2′s API Management platform can address them by supporting API provisioning, security and analytics. We also describe the various deployment options – on-premise and in the cloud – as well as the key deployment patterns that you need to adopt.

The document discusses implementing an API facade pattern using the WSO2 API Management Platform. It describes the need for a facade layer to mediate between backend services and external API consumers. The WSO2 platform provides functionality like protocol switching, message transformation, and security bridging to implement the facade pattern and address issues with directly exposing heterogeneous backend services. It advocates for a pragmatic approach combining the facade and mediation layers to build scalable and decoupled API-centric architectures.

PayPal provides a faster, safer way to pay and get paid online, via mobile devices and in stores. With 143 million active accounts in 193 markets and 26 currencies around the world, PayPal enables global commerce, processing more than 9 million payments every day. From its initial product which enabled consumers to exchange money via PDA devices, PayPal has been enabling online merchants to accept secure payments via PayPal, helping users access money in their PayPal accounts via ATM machines and enabling consumers to pay at POS terminals in stores. From enabling simple HTML buttons for the web, PayPal APIs evolved over the last 14 years, and enabled integrations across a variety of channels including mobile, POS, ATMs and other connected devices like televisions and gaming consoles. Through the years, PayPal’s external APIs became increasingly inconsistent, complex and difficult to use, and its internal SOA built on proprietary approaches became tightly coupled and was crippling development. To address these issues, PayPal began developing a new API and Services Platform in 2012 basing it on principles such as API as a Product, API First and loosely coupled services. The new API Platform was initially launched in 2013 to external developers and partners, and is now being used by PayPal’s own developers to build PayPal’s new products and experiences in hours instead of weeks. In this talk, you will learn about how PayPal’s API Platform has evolved both internally and externally, as well as how the company’s culture has changed along with the new API Platform.

By leveraging "serverless architectures", startups and enterprises are building and running modern applications and services with increased agility and simplified scalability—all without managing a single server. Many applications need to manage user identities and support sign-in/sign-up. In this session, we dive deep on how to support millions of user identities, as well as how to integrate with social identity providers (such as Google and Facebook) and existing corporate directories. You learn the real-world design patterns that AWS customers use to implement authentication and authorization. By combining Amazon Cognito identity pools and user pools with API Gateway, AWS Lambda, and AWS IAM, you can add security without adding servers.

We recently replaced a proprietary API management solution with an in-house implementation built with nginx and Lua that let us get to a continuous delivery practice in a handful of months. Learn about our development process and the overall architecture that allowed us to write minimal amounts of code, enjoying native code performance while permitting interactive codeing, and how we leveraged other open source tools like Vagrant, Ansible, and OpenStack to build an automation-rich delivery pipeline. We will also take an in-depth look at our capacity management approach that differs from the rate limiting concept prevalent in the API community.

The document discusses securing serverless applications using Amazon API Gateway, AWS Lambda, and Amazon Cognito. It describes how to build a basic 3-tier web app that is fully serverless, add authentication with Amazon Cognito by integrating with Cognito user pools, and implement authorization using AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) by leveraging Cognito. Key benefits mentioned are that AWS Lambda and API Gateway provide automatic scaling with no infrastructure to manage, while security is improved by making use of IAM through Cognito.

AWS serverless architecture components such as Amazon S3, Amazon SQS, Amazon SNS, CloudWatch Logs, DynamoDB, Amazon Kinesis, and Lambda can be tightly constrained in their operation. However, it may still be possible to use some of them to propagate payloads that could be used to exploit vulnerabilities in some consuming endpoints or user-generated code. This session explores techniques for enhancing the security of these services, from assessing and tightening permissions in IAM to integrating tools and mechanisms for inline and out-of-band payload analysis that are more typically applied to traditional server-based architectures.
