Decide on Identity Provider (IdP)

Simplify AWS authentication by leveraging existing email providers or Identity Providers (IdPs), ensuring streamlined access management and ease of use for your team.

Problem

Users need a way to authenticate to AWS.

Solution

Verified working IdPs:

  • GSuite (Google Workspaces)
  • Office 365 (Microsoft 365)
  • Okta
  • JumpCloud
  • Auth0

Cloud Posse recommends using your existing email provider (e.g. Google, Microsoft, etc) as the IdP, unless you already have a specialized one, such as Okta, Auth0, or JumpCloud.

Consequences

Follow the steps below to integrate your IdP of choice with AWS.

Jumpstart:

Cloud Posse requires this information for your team to sign in to the new AWS Accounts.

  • Please create a temporary User in your IdP for the Cloud Posse Team. The Cloud Posse Team will use this account to verify access to several resources. For example [email protected].
