In this project based on a real-world scenario, I acted as Cloud Specialist with the mission to migrate users in an automated way and manage AWS IAM (Identity and Access Management) resources.

There were 100 users that needed to be migrated and have MFA (Multi-factor authentication) enabled on their accounts, as this is a security best practice.

To avoid repetitive and manual tasks in the AWS console, I needed to think about automating the processes. As a result, the provided solution is described below :

Solution Architecture

Using GitBash with AWS CLI and Shell Script, I have implemented the solution according to the architecture described above, in order to automate user identification and authentication together with assigning the right permissions to user groups that will make the role separation clear and efficient.
