In July 2026, AWS Config extended its resource tracking capabilities by adding eight new AWS resource types, enhancing environment visibility for compliance and auditing. Newly supported types include domain names for API Gateway V2, VPC encryption controls for EC2, and objects related to S3 Vectors and OpenSearch Serverless.
This expansion allows automatic inclusion of these resources in Config rules and aggregators when recording all resource types is enabled. The update broadens AWS Config’s ability to assess and remediate infrastructure changes across diverse AWS service components globally.
