AWS Config

For the latter, AWS Config enables you to assess, audit and evaluate the configurations of your AWS resources. In the case described here, it is the Security Group which controls the access to the example bastion host. When AWS Config checks are done, any changes which violate the rules will be forwarded to an SNS topic. This provides the chance to react very quickly to changes done. AWS Config Pricing is based on the numbers of items recorded ($0.003) and the number of rule evaluations ($0.001).
