Description: Google Cloud IAM (Identity and Access Management) is a fundamental service that allows organizations to efficiently manage permissions and access to resources on the Google Cloud platform, including in hybrid and multicloud environments. IAM provides a framework for access control that enables administrators to define who can do what with Google Cloud resources. This is achieved through roles and policies that can be assigned to users, groups, and service accounts. With IAM, companies can implement a security approach based on the principle of least privilege, ensuring that users only have access to the resources necessary to perform their jobs. Additionally, IAM seamlessly integrates with other Google Cloud tools and services, facilitating identity and access management in a cloud environment. The ability to audit and monitor access to resources is also a key feature, allowing organizations to comply with regulations and security standards. In the context of cloud environments, IAM becomes an essential tool for ensuring that access policies are consistent and secure across the entire infrastructure.
