A company needs to give a globally distributed development team secure access to the company's AWS resources in a way that complies with security policies. The company currently uses an on-premises Active Directory for internal authentication. The company uses AWS Organizations to manage multiple AWS accounts that support multiple projects. The company needs a solution to integrate with the existing infrastructure to provide centralized identity management and access control. Which solution will meet these requirements with the LEAST operational overhead?
Published
- Set up AWS Directory Service to create an AWS managed Microsoft Active Directory on AWS. Establish a trust relationship with the on-premises Active Directory. Use IAM roles that are assigned to Active Directory groups to access AWS resources within the company's AWS accounts.
- Create an IAM user for each developer. Manually manage permissions for each IAM user based on each user’s involvement with each project. Enforce multi-factor authentication (MFA) as an additional layer of security.
- Use AD Connector in AWS Directory Service to connect to the on-premises Active Directory. Integrate AD Connector with AWS IAM Identity Center. Configure permissions sets to give each AD group access to specific AWS accounts and resources.
- Use Amazon Cognito to deploy an identity federation solution. Integrate the identity federation solution with the on-premises Active Directory. Use Amazon Cognito to provide access tokens for developers to access AWS accounts and resources.
