Which AWS Services are use to interact with the AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM)

We can work with AWS Identity and Access Management in any of the following ways:

1- AWS Management Console: The console is a browser-based interface to manage IAM and AWS resources.

2- AWS Command Line Tools: You can use the AWS command line tools to issue commands at your system’s command line to perform IAM and AWS tasks. Using the command line can be faster and more convenient than the console. The command line tools are also useful if you want to build scripts that perform AWS tasks. AWS provides two sets of command line tools: the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) and the AWS Tools for Windows PowerShell.

3- AWS SDKs: AWS provides SDKs (software development kits) that consist of libraries and sample code for various programming languages and platforms (Java, Python, Ruby, .NET, iOS, Android, etc.). The SDKs provide a convenient way to create programmatic access to IAM and AWS. For example, the SDKs take care of tasks such as cryptographically signing requests, managing errors, and retrying requests automatically.

4- IAM HTTPS API: You can access IAM and AWS programmatically by using the IAM HTTPS API, which lets you issue HTTPS requests directly to the service.
