IAM Users

Quake AI concept: Authentication

  • AWS IAM Users are tied exclusively to one AWS account with no native multi-account scoping without Organizations; OpenStack users exist in domains and get scoped to multiple projects via role assignments, allowing flexible multi-tenancy within a deployment.
  • AWS emphasizes long-term credentials like access keys/passwords but strongly recommends federation/temporary creds for humans; OpenStack uses short-lived, scoped tokens natively.
  • Naming: AWS ARNs like arn:aws:iam::ACCOUNT:user/NAME; OpenStack uses user@domain scoped to project@domain.
  • API differences: AWS uses CreateUser, ListUsers in IAM API; OpenStack Keystone v3 API integrates user/project/role in assignments (e.g., POST /v3/role_assignments).
