Q

Difference between root user and IAM user in aws?

A

In summary, while the root user has complete access and control over the AWS account, an IAM user has a limited set of permissions and can be created with specific access controls. It is recommended to use IAM users instead of the root user for day-to-day activities to improve security and limit access to AWS resources.
