Home assignment for the Remitly Summer Internship 2024 recruitment process

Created by Mateusz Bis 10 IV 2024

Features

This project impements an verifyPolicyJSON method that:

• takes in a single argument - an AWS IAM Policy string as []bytes
• verifies whether the []bytes string is a valid AWS::IAM::Role Policy
• returns a bool value: true if the Resource policy field contains exactly one asterisk character, otherwise it returns false (inluding when the policy is invalid)

The method can be executed by running main.go - it reads JSON from data.json (which should be located in the root working directory), passes it to verifyPolicyJSON and prints out the function's result.

Requirements

I've tested the project on go1.22.2, I cannot guarantee it will work on older versions.

Unit Tests

I have written several unit tests for verifyPolicyJSON and UnmarshalJSON methods in order to ensure that everything works as expected.

To run the test suite, execute the following command:

$ go test ./...
