Managed Policy

A Managed Policy in AWS is a standalone IAM policy created and maintained either by AWS or by the user. It defines a set of permissions that can be attached to multiple IAM users, groups, or roles, making it easier to manage access consistently across resources. AWS-managed policies are maintained and updated by AWS, while customer-managed policies give full control to the user.
