AWS Config Specialization
AWS Config is a service that allows you to assess, audit, and evaluate the configurations of your AWS resources. It continuously monitors and records resource configurations and enables automatic assessment of recorded configurations against desired settings.
AWS Config provides an inventory of your AWS resources and their relationships, as well as historical configuration data for resources. This data can be used to understand how your resources are configured, track changes to your resources over time, and detect when resource configurations deviate from desired settings.
AWS Config integrates with other AWS services such as AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM), AWS CloudTrail, and AWS Lambda to provide a comprehensive view of resource configurations and the ability to automatically assess these configurations.
You can use AWS Config to ensure compliance with internal policies and external regulations and to audit resource configurations in terms of security and operational best practices. AWS Config can also be used to identify and remediate configuration issues and automate the remediation of these issues.
