IAM role creation with S3 full permission and assigning it to EC2

Introduction: -

AWS #Identity and Access Management (IAM) provides a robust security framework for managing access to AWS services. By creating an #IAM role with full S3 permissions and assigning it to an EC2 instance, you can enable command-line access to #AmazonS3 from within the EC2 environment. This allows you to interact with S3 resources, such as uploading, downloading, and managing objects, directly from the command line.

In this guide, we will walk you through the process of creating an IAM role with full S3 permissions and assigning it to an EC2 instance for command line access to S3. By following the steps outlined in this guide, you will learn how to configure the necessary #IAM role, associate it with an EC2 instance, and use command-line tools to interact with S3.

Pre-Requestites:-

Conclusion:-

Creating an #IAM role with full S3 permissions and assigning it to an EC2 instance enables seamless command-line access to Amazon S3 from within the EC2 environment. By following the steps outlined in this guide, you have learned how to configure the necessary IAM role, associate it with an EC2 instance, and utilize command-line tools to interact with S3 resources.

By granting the IAM role full S3 permissions, you allow EC2 instances to perform a wide range of #operations on S3 resources, including uploading, downloading, listing, and deleting objects. It is essential to carefully review and consider the required permissions to ensure the principle of least privilege and maintain a #secure environment.
