About:
Policy Sentry is a CLI tool that automatically generates secure, least-privilege AWS IAM policies based on access level specifications. It helps developers avoid the complexity of IAM policy syntax by allowing them to define required permissions using simple YAML templates. The tool significantly reduces the risk of overly permissive policies and streamlines the creation of compliant access controls.
Key Features:
  • Generates least-privilege IAM policies from access level definitions
  • Supports wildcard handling and ARN templating
  • Provides policy analysis and querying capabilities
  • Offers a YAML-based configuration format for easy management
Use Cases:
  • Generating secure IAM policies for CI/CD pipelines
  • Auditing existing policies for overly permissive permissions
  • Creating service-specific policies for microservices architectures
Alternatives:
  • iam-policies-generator – Policy Sentry uses a YAML-based approach with access levels, while iam-policies-generator uses a more traditional UI-driven approach
  • aws-iam-policy-generator – Policy Sentry focuses on least-privilege generation and CLI usage, whereas alternatives may be more GUI-focused
