AWS Creates New Policy-Based Access Control Language Cedar
All of the sdks support client side monitoring (CSM), so these sort of tools can be built client side. https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/1.10.46/gui...
afaics the only challenge is mapping some of the apis to iam as its only 85% 1:1
There's also tools for helping with iam like (generator, and linter)

- Is there a way to test policies without the AWS policy simulator? maybe an API or library?

IAM Role & Policy request - Automated review
There are IAM linting libraries like parliament (https://github.com/duo-labs/parliament) that can be used to build a solution like the one you described. There are also some other open source tools that use it for security purposes. You'd probably have to customize them for use in your own CICD processes.

Actions, resources, and condition keys for AWS services - is there an API for this document?
No API, but you can generate JSON output using https://github.com/duo-labs/parliament (or a modified version that includes undocumented actions at https://github.com/iann0036/iam-dataset/blob/main/iam\_definition.json).

I built a Power Editor that makes IAM creation simpler
Sift through 9000+ privileges in just a few key presses, ARN's are instantly recommended and their input/validation is streamlined. Additional statements can be added via hotkey, and your policy will be checked in real-time for syntax errors or other bugs (thanks Parliament!).

Is there a tool that tells you which IAM actions to allow if you give it an API operation?
I've been literally tweeting at aws for a long time now for a tool like this lol, haven't found anything. but you can play around with Parliament

It is an open source initiative from Salesforce. Using Policy Sentry, it is easy to automate the creation of IAM policies with little knowledge on security.

Starting your Cloud Security Journey
You can use tools like policy_sentry to create least privilege IAM policies.

I built a tool which automatically suggests least-privilege IAM policies
The tool is in a similar space to iamlive, policy_sentry, and consoleme (all of which are worth checking out too if you're interested in making AWS security easier) but the main points of difference I see are:
-
Show HN: Endgame – An AWS Pentesting tool to backdoor or expose AWS resources
@kmcquade ur awesome ! we are users of https://github.com/salesforce/policy_sentry and definitely definitely https://github.com/salesforce/cloudsplaining .
If I could give you guys money, I would. You should totally build a startup around it.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing parliament and policy_sentry you can also consider the following projects:
trailscraper - A command-line tool to get valuable information out of AWS CloudTrail
iamlive - Generate an IAM policy from AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud (GCP) calls using client-side monitoring (CSM) or embedded proxy
