Overview of this book
As enterprises adopt multi-cloud and DevOps at scale, securing identities and access across complex cloud environments is no longer optional, it is mission-critical. Identity and Access Management for Cloud and DevOps Engineers is a hands-on guide for professionals who need to design and manage IAM solutions across Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud, while meeting modern security and compliance demands. Written for cloud architects, DevOps engineers, and IT security professionals, this book delivers practical tools, automation techniques, and forward-looking strategies to master IAM.
You’ll start with IAM foundations such as least privilege, zero trust, MFA, RBAC, and ABAC, then move into platform-specific implementations in Azure, AWS, and GCP. With each concept mapped to real-world workflows, you'll also learn how to automate IAM using Terraform and Infrastructure as Code, integrate identity controls into CI/CD pipelines, and secure access across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. Each chapter features hands-on examples, best practices, and case studies.
This book goes beyond teaching the basics. It empowers you to lead security-first initiatives. Whether you’re building a greenfield cloud IAM architecture or fixing legacy access risks in your DevOps pipelines, this is your blueprint for scalable, future-ready identity governance.
