What is a break-glass admin?

What is a VPC: your own private network inside one AWS Region, example ThreeTierVpc 10.0.0.0/16.

What is a break-glass admin? A planned emergency access path (role or user) with MFA, monitoring, and a written procedure for when SSO or normal admin paths fail. Without it, outages push people to share root passwords. With it, you recover under CloudTrail instead of chaos. Practice once a quarter, alert on use, keep daily work on least-privilege permission sets.
