AWS Config expanded its suite of managed rules to cover additional security and operational use cases, including controls for Amazon Cognito user pools, EBS snapshots, and CloudFormation stacks. Customers can directly enable and manage these rules within the service console to strengthen policy enforcement.
The update allows applying these controls at account and organizational levels, supported by Conformance Packs for multi-account governance. These new rules aim to facilitate compliance and risk management, though their effectiveness depends on correct implementation and ongoing monitoring by users.
