‫Now let's learn about Amazon Cognito.
‫So Cognito is a way for you to provide identity
‫for your web and mobile applications users.
‫So potentially you have millions of these users
‫that are using, for example, your newest web application
‫or your newest mobile application
‫but you shouldn't create IAM users for them, okay?
‫IAM users are only for the people who belong
‫to your company and need to use AWS directly.
‫Instead, what you can do is to create users
‫for your mobile and web apps in Cognito.
‫So this is a simplified version,
‫but you would have Amazon Cognito
‫which will have its own internal database of users,
‫potentially millions of users,
‫and then your mobile and web applications
‫will have an integrated login into Amazon Cognito.
‫Now Cognito is what you would maybe see behind some
‫of these websites where you can also login
‫with Facebook, Google, and Twitter
‫by saying by click on the button
‫and then you're redirected to Google or Facebook
‫so it does that as well.
‫So if you're thinking of building a web
‫or mobile application and you want to have
‫a way to mange users on AWS
‫then Cognito would be the way to go.
‫So that's it, I hope you liked it
‫and I will see in the next lecture.
