00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:02,580
‫Now let's learn about Amazon Cognito.

2
00:00:02,580 --> 00:00:06,540
‫So Cognito is a way for you to provide identity

3
00:00:06,540 --> 00:00:09,220
‫for your web and mobile applications users.

4
00:00:09,220 --> 00:00:11,700
‫So potentially you have millions of these users

5
00:00:11,700 --> 00:00:14,450
‫that are using, for example, your newest web application

6
00:00:14,450 --> 00:00:16,100
‫or your newest mobile application

7
00:00:16,100 --> 00:00:18,870
‫but you shouldn't create IAM users for them, okay?

8
00:00:18,870 --> 00:00:21,610
‫IAM users are only for the people who belong

9
00:00:21,610 --> 00:00:25,080
‫to your company and need to use AWS directly.

10
00:00:25,080 --> 00:00:27,920
‫Instead, what you can do is to create users

11
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:30,660
‫for your mobile and web apps in Cognito.

12
00:00:30,660 --> 00:00:31,990
‫So this is a simplified version,

13
00:00:31,990 --> 00:00:34,060
‫but you would have Amazon Cognito

14
00:00:34,060 --> 00:00:36,420
‫which will have its own internal database of users,

15
00:00:36,420 --> 00:00:37,960
‫potentially millions of users,

16
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,920
‫and then your mobile and web applications

17
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:44,210
‫will have an integrated login into Amazon Cognito.

18
00:00:44,210 --> 00:00:46,490
‫Now Cognito is what you would maybe see behind some

19
00:00:46,490 --> 00:00:48,880
‫of these websites where you can also login

20
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,230
‫with Facebook, Google, and Twitter

21
00:00:51,230 --> 00:00:52,660
‫by saying by click on the button

22
00:00:52,660 --> 00:00:54,380
‫and then you're redirected to Google or Facebook

23
00:00:54,380 --> 00:00:55,760
‫so it does that as well.

24
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:57,480
‫So if you're thinking of building a web

25
00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:59,400
‫or mobile application and you want to have

26
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,980
‫a way to mange users on AWS

27
00:01:01,980 --> 00:01:04,000
‫then Cognito would be the way to go.

28
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:05,250
‫So that's it, I hope you liked it

29
00:01:05,250 --> 00:01:07,000
‫and I will see in the next lecture.
