AWS Config - Summary

AWS Config is a fully managed service that provides resource inventory, configuration history, and compliance auditing for your AWS environment. It helps you track changes to AWS resources, assess compliance against rules, and troubleshoot security and operational issues.

AWS Config - tracking and auditing

AWS Config is designed to help you track and audit configuration changes to your AWS resources. When you see a "Configuration Item Recorded" graph showing 30 items changed on a specific date like 6/2/2025, it means AWS Config detected changes to 30 unique resources (or changes to their configuration items) on that day.
