Working with AWS Roles Using AWS CloudFormation
Globomantics is a global healthcare organization that has been working in AWS for a while now. Recently, they have become concerned about the amount of mistakes that are being made as AWS roles are being manually created. Roles able to be assumed by the wrong AWS services and roles that give too much access are particularly of concern. You have been tasked with implementing a solution that will help: - Automate role provisioning and deprovisioning - Automate the process of making changes to role - Reduce the number of mistakes being made Having considered options, you have decided to recommend that Globomantics implement AWS CloudFormation. In this lab, you will: 1. Create a JSON template. 2. Use the template to create CloudFormation stacks. 3. Use CloudFormation to cleanly remove deployed resources.
