DevOps Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "AWS Monitoring Infrastructure" December 4, 2021 4.0 Pros Quicker and more straightforward review interaction of your AWS administrations arrangement Keeping history of changes implies its simple to detect any issues that happen at whatever point any progressions occurred It gives you a setup depiction of all of your AWS assets and you can store it in AWS S3. You can coordinate it with AWS CloudTrail to correspond arrangement changes to specific occasions in your record. Cons Some time the Config Rules are hard to comprehend and arrange. They could be made simple or have GUI to arrange them. I realize it is hard to construct yet that would be a decent success. Not the most instinctive interface, but rather with a little becoming acclimated to it is OK. Review Source Aaron A.

Pros It is built into AWS and supports most services natively. There is no setup and no cost. I use it whenever I need to see if a service or asset is compliant with our needs or to see changes over time to assets. Cons It does not show the names of individual assets, only the AWS ID. This is annoying when trying to find a specific item in the console.

We dont really have to worry about something going wrong because we can auto remediate or at least alert on it. Pros Using AWS config can be a daunting task as there are essentially endless things it can be used for to keep track of log ins to changes in ec2 tags, but if you set up the correct reporting and alerting using other native AWS tooling you'll have an audit trail and set of compliant resources in your account. Cons I would say it is hard to get started from the ground level, but aws provides extensive white papers, examples, videos, and training to get you running at full speed without too much effort.

Helped me to learned metadata structure, configurations and relationships over events. Cons Learning curve is huge if you are not a technical user. Documentation really helps but also you gonna need an engineer to walkthrough with you. Simplified version for non-tech users should be handy. Review Source DC Daniele C.

Configuration history is a very useful tool for tracking configuration changes over time, and you can even compare to your AWS CloudTrail logs to see which users are changing config in your accounts. Cons There is a steep learning curve for using this software. AWS provides training, youtube videos, tutorials etc, so I would recommend starting there to lessen the incline of this curve.
