IAM was always covered in CISSP. Cloud to some degree also and that is why you have the new CCSP certifications.

Which book covers cloud?
Does not seem to be covered in AIO

AIO covers Cloud Computing at page 657 and service models at 658. You need to realize that AIO is an old version now, almost 3 years and even though it covers a lot of the same CISSP domains, some newer books might cover them in more detail. Also as i mentioned above, ISC2 has a new cloud certificate called CCSP - Certified Cloud Security Professional that covers topics specifically to the cloud.

Thanks.
It will be nice to find out more resources about cloud as more and more questions are now appearing

There are cloud resources everywhere! search for CSA guide v3. This will also help you prepare for the CCSK or the CCSP.

Most CISSP material I came across covers some cloud along with the NIST doc that is referenced. The problem I saw with that and the exam is, not enough information about the cloud. If I recall there is the IDaaS,Saas,PaaS and IaaS. Along with SLA talk. Not enough focus on authentication and synchronize ways with cloud services and data reminiscence
