I've seen the word on the AWS website, but I don't know what it is.
Is it related to IP address?

What is IPAM?

IPAM stands for IP Address Management.
In Japanese, it is called IP address management.

IPAM refers to the centralized management of IP addresses in a network and software for such management.
It collects IP addresses in cooperation with DHCP servers, DNS servers, etc. that exist in the network, and
The DHCP server systematically allocates IP addresses.

In the past, when IP addresses were planned, planning was done using Excel.
When changes were made, modifications were often made.
However, this was sometimes unusable due to omissions or loss of tracking of work.
IPAM will do that automatically.

It's definitely going to be in an Excel table or something... it's not going to be usable. 。。。。
