How is IAM a cutesy name?

[denisw → rmwaite]

It can be read as both an acronym for “Identity and Access Management” and as the phrase “I am”, which also happens to fit the topic of identity.

Never noticed this before, and now can never unsee it. Thank you.

[yread → denisw]

[morpheuskafka → denisw]

True, but that would apply to everyone else that uses the acronym, not something Amazon invented.
