‫So now let's talk
‫about the AWS IAM Identity Center
‫which is a successor
‫to the surveys called the AWS Single Sign-On.
‫So if you see one or the other at the exam,
‫just know that the feature
‫is to give you a single sign-on.
‫So one login for all your AWS accounts
‫in your organization which is mostly
‫where the exam is testing you on.
‫But also, you're going to have one login across
‫Business cloud applications,
‫SAML2.0 enabled applications,
‫and your EC2 Windows Instances.
‫So the user logs in and has access
‫to everything you define for that user have access to.
‫And in terms of the identity providers,
‫So where the user data is stored,
‫where you can have a built-in identity store
‫in the IAM Identity Center,
‫or you can connect to a third party identity store
‫such as Microsoft Active Directory,
‫or OneLogin or Okta.
‫The idea here is that from an exam perspective,
‫anytime you see one access to multiple AWS accounts,
‫you have to think about the IAM Identity Center.
‫So very simply, what does it look like?
‫Well, you log in through this one URL,
‫and then you provide your username and password.
‫Then, you have access
‫to the AWS IAM Identity Center portal,
‫which is, I'm showing you mine right now,
‫have access to four accounts under my organization.
‫And then, I can click on one of them
‫and click on management console
‫and I'm going to have direct access
‫to the management console of a specific account.
‫All of this just by remembering one login
‫versus remembering four logins
‫for all of my accounts,
‫and managing my users across my accounts
‫in a central manner instead
‫of managing it on a per account basis.
‫So it's very powerful,
‫and that's all you need to know for the exam.
‫I hope you liked it,
‫and I will see you in the next lecture.
