Authentication and Authorization​

Concepts

  • Authentication is the process of verifying who a user is
  • Authorization is the process of verifying what they have access to

Example: Alice is a user in AWS with no access to any service

Conclusion: Terraform needs access credentials with relevant permissions to create and manage the environments

Note: Depending on the provider, the type of access credentials would change

  • AWS: Access keys and secret keys
  • Github: Tokens
