cdk-iam-floyd
AWS IAM policy statement generator with fluent interface for AWS CDK
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you use AWS CDK and want to reduce IAM policy boilerplate. The package has low install friction, active maintenance, and permissive licensing. Pin to version 0.507.0 or later and verify CDK compatibility (>= 2.30.0); accept that the API is still Beta and may change before 1.0.0. No known vulnerabilities.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires AWS CDK v2.0.0 or later; version 0.507.0 requires CDK >= 2.30.0 per the compatibility matrix.
- Low install friction with a pure-Python wheel and five runtime dependencies.
- Actively maintained with recent commits; marked Beta but in use across the top 15000 PyPI packages.

What it is and what it does
cdk-iam-floyd is a Python wrapper around AWS IAM policy statement generation, designed to integrate directly into AWS CDK constructs. It provides a fluent, type-safe interface to build IAM policies by chaining method calls rather than hand-writing JSON—for example, calling `.allow().describe_instances()` on an EC2 service object generates the corresponding policy statement. The package maintains coverage of 353 AWS services with their associated actions, resource types, and condition keys, all generated from AWS documentation.
The package depends on aws-cdk-lib, constructs, jsii, publication, and typeguard to bridge Python and CDK's JavaScript runtime and provide type safety. It is marked as Beta and has not reached 1.0.0, meaning the API may change; the maintainer recommends pinning to an exact version. The project is actively maintained with recent commits and is used by a significant portion of the PyPI ecosystem.
Use it for
- Build least-privilege IAM policies in CDK stacks using method chaining instead of hand-written JSON.
- Generate policy statements for multiple AWS services with autocomplete and type hints in Python IDEs.
- Ensure policy syntax correctness by leveraging the fluent interface to catch errors at development time.
- Manage condition keys and resource types programmatically for complex multi-service policies.
- Integrate IAM policy generation into infrastructure-as-code pipelines without context switching to JSON.
