IAM Policy Autopilot Enhancements

IAM Policy Autopilot can now generate baseline IAM policies directly from a Terraform plan file. This enhancement allows the tool to analyze your Infrastructure as Code (Iac) to deterministically create scoped-down IAM policies, reducing the time spent writing IAM policies and troubleshooting access issues.

What to do

  • Pass a Terraform plan file as input to IAM Policy Autopilot.
  • Review the generated policies, which reference specific resource ARNs rather than wildcards, when possible.
  • Visit the IAM Policy Autopilot GitHub repository to get started.
