Most workloads on AWS resemble a finely crafted cake, with delight at every layer. In this session, we help you master identity at each layer of deliciousness: from platform, to infrastructure, to applications, using services like AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM), AWS Directory Service, Amazon Cognito, and many more. Leave with a firm mental model for how identity works both harmoniously and independently throughout these layers, and with ready-to-use reference architectures and sample code. We keep things fun and lively along the way with lots of demos, which will hopefully make up for our decided lack of anything resembling the sweet confections we'll be talking so much about!
