User Pool vs Federated Identities

User pools is a complete solution for people with no Authentication at all, and don't wanna use third party providers like FB or Google
(Sign up, sign in, really easy to use)

Federated Identities allow you to connect third party providers like FB or Google to Cognito, to then create temporary IAM Credentials you provided, (ie upload files to S3)
