In this project based on a real-world scenario, I acted as Cloud Specialist with the mission to migrate users in an automated way and manage AWS IAM (Identity and Access Management) resources.
There were 100 users that needed to be migrated and have MFA (Multi-factor authentication) enabled on their accounts, as this is a security best practice.
To avoid repetitive and manual tasks in the AWS console, I needed to think about automating the processes.
The company provided me with a spreadsheet containing the users data which I had to edit to fit the automation script that would be used later. First I created the IAM groups related to the users roles in the spreadsheet, then I headed to the AWS console, downloaded the script through wget command, the spreadsheet, the script dependencies and ran the script. In a few seconds the IAM users were created.
