Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: A
Explanation
AWS Config is a service that enables you to assess, audit, and evaluate the configurations of your AWS resources. It continuously monitors and records your AWS resource configurations and allows you to automate the evaluation of recorded configurations against desired configurations. With AWS Config, you can track configuration changes, review historical configurations, and get notifications about changes to help ensure compliance and security.A. The service is designed to track, record, and audit configuration changes made to AWS resources, providing a detailed view of the configuration history and compliance status of resources.
B. Amazon Inspector is not the correct answer because it is a security assessment service that helps improve the security and compliance of applications deployed on AWS by automatically assessing applications for vulnerabilities or deviations from best practices. It does not track, record, or audit configuration changes made to AWS resources.
C. The option is incorrect because AWS IAM (Identity and Access Management) is used for managing access to AWS services and resources securely, not for tracking or auditing configuration changes.
D. AWS Shield is not used to track, record, and audit configuration changes made to AWS resources. It is a managed Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection service that safeguards applications running on AWS.
