Ensuring S3 compliance with AWS Config
Ensuring that your AWS resources are configured according to your specifications and best practices is crucial. AWS Config facilitates the governance of your resources by continuously evaluating your resources against your predefined rules. It provides a comprehensive view of your resources, enabling you to monitor and take corrective actions if any resource deviates from these rules and becomes non-compliant.
In Chapter 1, Managing Data Lake Storage, we discussed the importance of encryption, life cycle policies, and access control for S3 buckets. In this recipe, we will learn how to implement AWS Config rules to verify the compliance of S3 buckets with these standards.
Getting ready
For this recipe, you’ll need S3 buckets that you will monitor for compliance, and you must enable AWS CloudTrail, as AWS Config relies on CloudTrail logs to track and record resource configurations.
