# Amazon Config **Canonical:** https://apis.io/providers/amazon-config/ **Website:** https://aws.amazon.com/config/ **APIs profiled:** 92 AWS Config provides a detailed view of the configuration of AWS resources in your AWS account. This includes how the resources are related to one another and how they were configured in the past, enabling assessment, auditing, and evaluation of configurations for compliance and security governance. It records configuration changes continuously, evaluates compliance against rules, and supports automated remediation of noncompliant resources. ## Kin Score — 49.1 / 100 (developing) Scored 2026-08-20 under rubric 0.12.0.
