Description: IAM (Identity and Access Management) on GCP is a service that allows administrators to securely manage access to cloud resources. This service provides a robust framework for defining who can access what resources and under what conditions. IAM enables organizations to establish detailed access policies by assigning specific roles to users, groups, and services, ensuring that only authorized individuals can perform actions on cloud resources. Additionally, IAM facilitates auditing and regulatory compliance by allowing clear tracking of access and usage activities. Its integration with other cloud tools and its ability to work with configurations as code, such as Terraform, make it a flexible and scalable solution for identity management in cloud environments. This allows development and operations teams to implement and manage access policies programmatically, improving efficiency and reducing the risk of human error in security configuration.
