Container Registry Management with ECR and Security Policies > IAM Configuration

IAM Configuration

In this section, we will set up the necessary access permissions by configuring AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM). This is a foundational step to ensure that users and AWS services can securely interact with Amazon ECR and related resources, adhering to the principle of “least privilege.”

Objectives of this section

Understand the role of IAM in controlling access to ECR.
Set up the required IAM Users, IAM Policies, and IAM Roles for the workshop’s operations.
Ensure automated processes (like GitHub Actions) can authenticate and interact with AWS securely.
