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

DevOps Accelerator 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:

DevOps Accelerator requires this information for your team to sign in to the new AWS Accounts.

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