AWS Config conformance packs, organization level management capabilities for conformance packs, and individual AWS Config rules are now available in Asia Pacific (Melbourne) Region. Conformance packs allow you to bundle AWS Config rules and their associated remediation actions into a single package, simplifying deployment at scale. You can deploy and manage these conformance packs throughout your AWS environment.
Conformance packs provide a general-purpose compliance framework designed to enable you to create security, operational or cost-optimization governance checks using managed or custom AWS Config rules and AWS Config remediation actions. This allows you to monitor compliance based on your own groupings and also apply remediation automatically. With this launch, you can also manage the AWS Config conformance packs and individual AWS Config rules at the organization level which simplifies the compliance management across your AWS Organization.
To get started, you can either use the provided sample conformance pack templates or craft a custom YAML file from scratch based on a custom conformance pack. Conformance pack deployment can be done through the AWS Config console or AWS CLI or via AWS CloudFormation.
You will be charged per conformance pack evaluation in your AWS account per AWS Region. Visit the AWS Config pricing page for more details. To learn more about AWS Config conformance packs, see our documentation.
