Question 24

-
A
Once a resource is marked
non-compliant, the Config rule will not run on the resource again till the state changes -
B
AWS Config will send a notification with the current status of the resource
-
C
AWS Config will not record configuration changes that did not result from API activity on the resource. Hence, the Config rule is not triggered
-
D
AWS Config will not send a new notification
Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Correct option:
AWS Config will not send a new notification
AWS Config sends notifications only when the compliance status changes. If a resource was previously non-compliant and is still non-compliant, Config will not send a new notification. If the compliance status changes to “compliant”, you will receive a notification for the change in status.
Incorrect options:
AWS Config will send a notification with the current status of the resource - As discussed above, this is incorrect.
Once a resource is marked non-compliant, the Config rule will not run on the resource again till the state changes - This statement is incorrect. The Config rule continues to be evaluated on the resource.
AWS Config will not record configuration changes that did not result from API activity on the resource. Hence, the Config rule is not triggered - AWS Config records configuration changes that did not result from API activity on the configured resource.
