Config

AWS Config
-         https://aws.amazon.com/config/features/   REGIONAL resource
-         Service that enables you to assess, audit, and evaluate the configurations of your AWS resources: EC2, EBS, Security Groups, VPCs, etc. Config continuously monitors and records your AWS resource configurations and allows you to automate the evaluation of recorded configurations against desired configurations:
          §  See how the resources are related to one another
          §  See how the resources were configured in the past
          §  Extract existing resource settings and detect deviations from the standard
          §  Receive notifications when resources are added / modified / deleted
-         Connection from a resource to the Config service – over the AWS infra
-         Config is used for governance and compliance.
-         Example: can see what gets affected by a change in a Security Group rule
-         Configuration item – a point-in-time view of a configuration of a supported resource
-         Configuration history – collection of items for a resource over a period of time. Retention of min 30 days and max 7 years.
-         Configuration recorder – stores items in an account
-         Snapshot – a collection of configuration items for a resource. Can be delivered to S3
-         Configuration stream – near real time, automatically updated list for the resources that are being recorded. Works via an SNS topic
