Navigating the AWS Management Console

Find services, regions, and account settings in the web console.

Your Window into AWS

The AWS Management Console is the web dashboard where you view and control your account in a browser. For security work, it is where you start every investigation.

Signing In Securely

You can sign in as the root user (the account owner) or as an IAM identity. Lock root away and use an IAM user instead. It is the safer habit.
