# ConfigSnapshotDeliveryProperties
<a name="API_ConfigSnapshotDeliveryProperties"></a>

Provides options for how often AWS Config delivers configuration snapshots to the Amazon S3 bucket in your delivery channel.

The frequency for a rule that triggers evaluations for your resources when AWS Config delivers the configuration snapshot is set by one of two values, depending on which is less frequent:
+ The value for the `deliveryFrequency` parameter within the delivery channel configuration, which sets how often AWS Config delivers configuration snapshots. This value also sets how often AWS Config invokes evaluations for AWS Config rules.
+ The value for the `MaximumExecutionFrequency` parameter, which sets the maximum frequency with which AWS Config invokes evaluations for the rule. For more information, see [ConfigRule](API_ConfigRule.md).

If the `deliveryFrequency` value is less frequent than the `MaximumExecutionFrequency` value for a rule, AWS Config invokes the rule only as often as the `deliveryFrequency` value.

1. For example, you want your rule to run evaluations when AWS Config delivers the configuration snapshot.

1. You specify the `MaximumExecutionFrequency` value for `Six_Hours`. 

1. You then specify the delivery channel `deliveryFrequency` value for `TwentyFour_Hours`.

1. Because the value for `deliveryFrequency` is less frequent than `MaximumExecutionFrequency`, AWS Config invokes evaluations for the rule every 24 hours. 

You should set the `MaximumExecutionFrequency` value to be at least as frequent as the `deliveryFrequency` value. You can view the `deliveryFrequency` value by using the `DescribeDeliveryChannnels` action.

To update the `deliveryFrequency` with which AWS Config delivers your configuration snapshots, use the `PutDeliveryChannel` action.
