Explanation

AWS Config is a service designed to assess, audit, and evaluate the configurations of AWS resources. It continuously monitors and records your AWS resource configurations and allows you to automate the evaluation of recorded configurations against desired configurations. By starting a configuration recorder, AWS Config will capture changes to supported resource types as configuration items - without the need to modify any of the existing resources. This provides a full history of configuration changes and is specifically intended for exactly this use case.
