Deploy AWS Config conformance packs - AWS Systems Manager

Deploy AWS Config conformance packs

A conformance pack is a collection of AWS Config rules and remediation actions. With Quick Setup, you can deploy a conformance pack as a single entity in an account and an AWS Region or across an organization in AWS Organizations. This helps you manage configuration compliance of your AWS resources at scale, from policy definition to auditing and aggregated reporting, by using a common framework and packaging model.

To deploy conformance packs, perform the following tasks in the AWS Systems Manager Quick Setup console.

Note

You must enable AWS Config recording before deploying this configuration. For more information, see Conformance packs in the AWS Config Developer Guide.
