    It's really good if your infrastructure services is all in AWS, that means everything could be audited and monitored using AWS config. You also can create alarms to notify you or your team about any changes on your AWS resources which is very useful to prevent abuse if you have a fairly large team. It's also very useful whenever some third party wants to audit your AWS resources, if you have a fairly comprehensive AWS config configured, the auditing process will be easy since they only need to look at your AWS config setup.

    It is well suited for cases we use very often in IT, which is deploying the same set of configuration across tens of network devices. By creating the template config on ManageEngine Network Configuration Management, these config can be deployed on multiple nodes at once. Backup and reporting is vital as well, in addition to the restore capabilities.

    • If the developers can make the initial setup more simplified, it will be great. Due to the complexity of the initial setup and tweaking, it takes more time than the planned period.

    Would rate lower for other workloads but for AWS workloads its simple to set up, cost effective and customisable. Primary use case is compliance from a governance perspective.

    I do not know or have used any other product in AWS cloud space that matches what AWS Config provides. We have some custom built monitoring and governance, however that is there because AWS Config does not provide it currently.
