Different services need different AWS permissions, and broad access is becoming risky.

When this becomes useful

A public or shared service needs a defense that matches the actual threat. The example is one layer of that defense; access checks and operational response remain product work.

What the template offers

AWS IAM module is a Terraform module from Terraform AWS Modules. It offers a concrete implementation to inspect and adapt. Builds common IAM resources. Scope each policy to the service action and resource that actually needs it.

Technical shape

Inspect the role and policy resources, then narrow actions and resource ARNs for the service that uses them.

Questions worth answering

• What threat does this example address?
• Which controls must still live in the application?
• How will rules be observed and updated?
