What is AWS Config?

AWS Config is an essential service that empowers users to effectively evaluate, audit, and manage the configurations of their AWS resources. It continuously monitors and records these configurations, facilitating automated assessments against predefined standards. With AWS Config, users can track changes in resource configurations and their relationships, gain access to detailed historical data, and assess compliance with their organization's internal policies. This capability significantly enhances the efficiency of compliance audits, security evaluations, change management, and troubleshooting efforts. Tailored specifically for configuration auditing and compliance verification, AWS Config is a crucial resource for overseeing both AWS and external assets. Additionally, it supports the integration of configurations from third-party sources, such as GitHub repositories, Microsoft Active Directory, and on-premises servers, into the AWS ecosystem, creating a unified management framework. By adopting this comprehensive strategy, organizations can ensure robust governance and oversight of their technology resources, ultimately leading to improved operational effectiveness. Furthermore, this service provides insights that aid in proactive decision-making and risk management.
