Recording Configurations with AWS Config for Third-Party Resources using the AWS CLI

Recording Configurations with AWS Config for Third-Party Resources using the AWS CLI - AWS Config

Record configurations for third-party resources or custom resource types such as on premise servers, SAAS monitoring tools, and version control systems (like GitHub).

You can publish the configuration data of third-party resources into AWS Config and view and monitor the resource inventory and configuration history using the AWS Config console and APIs. You can use AWS Config to manage all your resources and evaluate resource configuration for compliance against best practices using AWS Config rules. You can also create AWS Config rules or conformance packs to evaluate these third-party resources against best practices, internal policies, and regulatory policies.

Note

If you have configured AWS Config to record all resource types, then third-party resources that are managed (created, updated, or deleted) through AWS CloudFormation are automatically tracked in AWS Config as configuration items.

Prerequisite: The third-party resources or custom resource type must be registered using AWS CloudFormation.
