Granted now makes logging in to AWS IAM Identity Center faster + more secure
Our new browser extension mitigates phishing attacks for @awscloud plus makes signing in a LOT faster.
Some background + more info in thread.

New article from me on the @cedarpolicy blog: validating Cedar policies using @github actions.
If you use an authorization framework like Cedar, you will probably store policies as source code.
My GitHub action validates these and annotates pull requests.

Excited to see more competition in this space. It's easy to dunk on the AWS Console DX, the innovators improve and disrupt it. Glad to see @CommonFateTech is building on their success with granted.dev to help you speedrun the AWS Console.

If you work with multiple AWS accounts then I highly recommend using Granted to handle accounts and sso.
It containerizes accounts within Firefox so you can have multiple open if needed.
Makes SSO a breeze too

Huge shout out to @mikejulian for this article about their IAM practices. Granted's profile repositories was the last piece I needed for my next project at work. A bunch of half-baked ideas coalesced into a strong vision this morning.

Great case study from Theo Mylonidis, SRE at Qred, on the why and how for moving to a multi-acccount organization and how they're using @CommonFateTech for managing temporary elevated access
Nothing better than user love!

Really excited about this update! Do you have 1000 AWS accounts? Do they belong to an OU? Now you can setup access rules in 995 fewer clicks.
Granted Approvals v0.9 is out! this release allows you to write access rules for specific Organizational Units, which gives you an easier way to specify access for multiple accounts. read more about it here: docs.commonfate.io/granted-a…

Proposal: all AWS service names get a 30 second review from me before they ship.
“Route53?”
“Love it.”
“Snowball Edge?”
“Urban Dictionary both of those words.”
“Systems Manager Session Mana—wow that sounds terrible now that I hear it spoken aloud.”
I’m here to help.

I once stared at a piece of code for 15 minutes trying to figure out what "par" meant.
Eventually I realized it was "parent".
Someone saved 50ms by not typing "ent". The savings was paid for by 15 mins of frustration.
Don't abbreviate. Thinking is more expensive than typing.
Common Fate retweeted
Do any of y'all use Granted to log into the console for a few dozen AWS accounts? How well does managing so many profiles work for you in that software?

Yelling at @CommonFateTech about the awesomeness that is Granted(seriously, use it)…

There is a cool tool called “Granted”, from @CommonFateTech, that solves the “incognito” window work around in order to see multiple #AWS accounts at once!
