federated identity
management
Allows individuals to sign in to different networks or services, using the same
group or personal credentials to access data across all networks. With identity
federation in AWS, external identities (federated users) are granted secure access
to resource (p. 148)s in an AWS account (p. 109) without having to create IAM
user (p. 157)s. These external identities can come from a corporate identity
store (such as LDAP or Windows Active Directory) or from a third party (such as
Login with Amazon, Facebook, or Google). AWS federation also supports SAML
2.0.

provider (p. 136)) forwards a recipient (p. 147)'s complaint (p. 124) back to

gibibyte A contraction of giga binary byte, a gibibyte is 2^30 or 1,073,741,824 bytes. A
gigabyte (GB) is 10^9 or 1,000,000,000 bytes. 1,024 GiB is a tebibyte (p. 156).

index can span all of the data in a table, across all partitions.
