About AWS IAM

AWS IAM (Identity and Access Management) is the foundational access control layer for all of AWS, managing authentication and fine-grained authorization for users, roles, service accounts, and resource-based policies across every AWS service. IAM is critical path infrastructure: a propagation failure in IAM can deny access to every other AWS service simultaneously, making IAM outages uniquely high blast-radius events. Monitor live AWS IAM service status and track IAM incident history here — IAM issues are often the hidden root cause behind unexplained access-denied errors across AWS.

FAQ

Is AWS IAM down right now?

PulsAPI checks AWS IAM status continuously. The current status is shown at the top of this page and updates every 60 seconds from the official AWS IAM status page.

What should I do if my system is impacted by a AWS IAM outage?

If AWS IAM is down, report the issue above to inform the community, check the incident timeline for resolution updates from the AWS IAM team, and activate any graceful degradation your application supports while waiting for recovery.

How do I check AWS IAM uptime history?

PulsAPI tracks AWS IAM uptime over 30, 60, and 90-day rolling windows. The 30-day uptime metric is shown in the sidebar on this page. Sign up for a free account to access the full 90-day SLA history and incident timeline.

How fast does PulsAPI detect AWS IAM outages?

PulsAPI polls the AWS IAM official status page every 60 seconds and delivers alerts to Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, or email in under 4 seconds from detection — faster than most engineers check manually.

Can I get alerts when AWS IAM goes down?

Yes. Sign up for PulsAPI and subscribe to AWS IAM. You'll receive instant alerts via email (free), or Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, and webhooks on paid plans — whenever AWS IAM status changes.

How do I report a AWS IAM issue to the community?

Click the "Report an issue" button at the top of this page. Select the issue type, severity, and optionally your region and a note. Community reports are anonymous and help other engineers detect outages before the official status page updates — which typically lags real incidents by 10 to 20 minutes.

Does PulsAPI track individual AWS IAM components?

Yes, where AWS IAM exposes component data. The components section above shows each tracked AWS IAM component and its current status. Component-level granularity lets you pinpoint exactly which part of AWS IAM is affected — not just a generic "service degraded" banner.

Is there a free way to monitor AWS IAM?

Yes. PulsAPI's Starter plan includes up to 10 monitored services with email alerts and a 15-day free trial — no credit card required. You can monitor AWS IAM alongside up to 9 other services for free. Sign up at pulsapi.com/signup to get started.
