Pick the right part of Cognito

You are scoping two new features, and a colleague keeps saying "we'll just use Cognito" as though that settles it. It does not. Under one name Cognito is two services, and they answer two different questions.

Six requirements have come out of the scoping session. Each one is answered by exactly one of the two.

In this chapter, you'll build the mental model that keeps real AWS workloads safe: separating the actor from the principal AWS actually evaluates. You'll then learn to read an IAM policy the way AWS does, working out whether a call is allowed, denied, or silently blocked by nothing at all. Finally, you'll replace long-lived access keys with role assumption, temporary credentials, and pre-signed URLs, the pattern that removes a key from a repository for good.

Exercise 1: Introduction to AWS Security Exercise 2: Identify over-permissioned access paths Exercise 3: Give the function a narrow role Exercise 4: Almost nothing runs as you Exercise 5: IAM policy evaluation and explicit deny Exercise 6: Map policy parts to their purpose Exercise 7: See implicit deny in action Exercise 8: Predict the evaluation outcome Exercise 9: Roles, temporary credentials, and SigV4 Exercise 10: Decide who may assume the role Exercise 11: Scope a pre-signed URL Exercise 12: Swap a stored key for a role

In this chapter, you'll draw a clean line between Cognito user pools for sign-in and identity pools for AWS credentials, then verify a token's signature before you trust anything inside it. You'll then map where a permission really comes from among identity policies, resource policies, and the boundaries that cap them, and use that map to choose between IAM, Cognito, and Lambda authorizers for an API Gateway endpoint. Finally, you'll keep secrets out of code and logs, picking the store, the masking, and the rotation habits that survive an incident review.

Exercise 1: User pools, identity pools, and JWTs Exercise 2: Verify a token before you trust it Exercise 3: Decide access from the claims Exercise 4: Pick the right part of Cognito

In this chapter, you'll match encryption mode to requirement: the four ways to encrypt an S3 object, and the one policy line that enforces transit. You'll then work out who really controls a KMS key when a key policy and an IAM policy both have a say, and read CloudTrail closely enough to know when its silence means nobody was logging, not that nothing happened. Finally, you'll run the whole course's checklist against one service you are about to ship, and see where the same identity, secrets, and encryption decisions carry into pipelines and AI agents calling AWS on your behalf.
