# #90daysofdevops #38:Getting Started with AWS Basics Congratulations!!!! you have come so far. Don't let your excuses break your consistency. Let's begin our new Journey with Cloud☁. By this time you have created multiple EC2 instances, if not let's begin the journey: ## AWS: Amazon Web Services is one of the most popular Cloud Provider that has free tier too for students and Cloud enthutiasts for their Handson while learning (Create your free account today to explore more on it). Read from [here](https://aws.amazon.com/what-is-aws/) ## IAM: AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) is a web service that helps you securely control access to AWS resources. With IAM, you can centrally manage permissions that control which AWS resources users can access. You use IAM to control who is authenticated (signed in) and authorized (has permissions) to use resources. Read from [here](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/introduction.html) Get to know IAM more deeply [Click Here!!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORB4eY8EydA) ### Task1: Create an IAM user with username of your own wish and grant EC2 Access. Launch your Linux instance through the IAM user that you created now and install jenkins and docker on your machine via single Shell Script. ### Task2: In this task you need to prepare a devops team of avengers. Create 3 IAM users of avengers and assign them in devops groups with IAM policy. Post your progress on Linkedin. Till then Happy Learning :) 1.
