Making authenticated calls to AWS services

- [Instructor] This is a very short, but critical exam objective. When asked how to call AWS services from another service, always consider IAM roles because these will generate temporary credentials to execute what you need without the worry of managing secrets. The second best choice in this case would be using an IAM user. However, don't consider IAM users if you have to authenticate a lot of application and users. In those cases, now we're talking about authentication, and that's very different, you will need something like AWS Cognito, for example.
