AWS Config Integrations

Overview

AWS Config integrates with several AWS services, enabling enhanced visibility, compliance monitoring, and operational tracking of resource configurations.

Key Integrations:

  1. AWS Organizations:

    • Consolidates multiple AWS accounts for centralized management and compliance monitoring.

    • Facilitates multi-account, multi-region data aggregation for AWS Config.

  2. AWS Control Tower:

    • Enables AWS Config on all enrolled accounts to monitor compliance, track resource changes, and log activity in the log archive account.

  3. AWS CloudTrail:

    • Links AWS Config with CloudTrail logs to correlate configuration changes with specific API events (e.g., who made the request and from which IP).

    • Supports timeline navigation between CloudTrail and AWS Config.

  4. AWS Security Hub:

    • Centralizes security checks, including compliance with AWS Config rules.

    • Requires AWS Config to be enabled across all accounts and regions for Security Hub integration.

  5. AWS Audit Manager:

    • Uses AWS Config evaluations as evidence in audits.

    • Maps Config rules to Audit Manager controls to report compliance check results.

  6. AWS Systems Manager:

    • Records software configuration changes for Amazon EC2 instances and on-premises servers.

    • Tracks OS updates, network settings, and installed applications alongside infrastructure changes.

  7. AWS Firewall Manager:

    • Requires AWS Config to monitor resources and enforce firewall rules.

    • Recommends continuous recording for real-time monitoring.

  8. Amazon EC2 Dedicated Hosts:

    • Tracks instance activity on Dedicated Hosts for license compliance.

    • Monitors host details like AMI IDs, physical cores, and sockets for accurate reporting.

  9. Elastic Load Balancers (ALB):

    • Records changes to Application Load Balancers and related resources (e.g., security groups, VPCs).

    • Supports security analysis and troubleshooting by tracking relationships between resources.

  10. AWS CodeBuild:

  • Tracks CodeBuild projects and maintains a history of their configuration changes.

  1. AWS X-Ray:

  • Monitors configuration changes in X-Ray encryption settings.

  • Provides a detailed history of changes for auditing and notifications.

  1. AWS Service Management Connector:

  • Integrates AWS Config data with ServiceNow using an Aggregator for multi-account, multi-region synchronization.

  1. Amazon API Gateway:

  • Records configuration changes to API Gateway resources.

  • Maintains change history for operational troubleshooting, auditing, and compliance.
