Evidence

+An _AWS managed policy_ is a standalone policy that is created and administered by AWS. Each policy has its own Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that includes the policy name. For example, `arn:aws:iam::aws:policy/IAMReadOnlyAccess` is an AWS managed policy. For more information about ARNs, see [IAM ARNs](./reference_identifiers.html#identifiers-arns). For a list of AWS managed policies for AWS services, see [AWS managed policies](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-managed-policy/latest/reference/policy-list.html).
