✅ Conclusion
In this hands-on lab, we explored key AWS security practices using IAM groups and policies. We:
Created an IAM group and user
Assigned managed policies for read-only access to Amazon EC2
Validated access restrictions via a failed termination attempt
Extended permissions to include Amazon RDS read-only access
This lab clearly demonstrates how IAM roles, groups, and policies are used to manage and enforce secure access to AWS services, creating a well-structured and controlled cloud environment.
