9. Making Complex Things Simple | Empowering Security Innovation User Pools A user pool is a user directory in Amazon Cognito. With a user pool, your users can sign into your web or mobile app through Amazon Cognito or federate through a third-party identity provider (IdP). Whether your users sign in directly or through a third party, all members of the user pool have a directory profile that you can access through an SDK References: [Image 1]: https://td-mainsite-cdn.tutorialsdojo.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Amazon-Cognito-Integration- with-Identity-Providers.png
10. Making Complex Things Simple | Empowering Security Innovation Identity Pools With an identity pool, your users can obtain temporary AWS credentials to access AWS services, such as Amazon S3 and DynamoDB. Identity pools support anonymous guest users, as well as the following identity providers that you can use to authenticate users for identity pools.
