AWS Config Conformance Packs Now Available in Additional Regions

AWS Config conformance packs and organization-level management capabilities for conformance packs are now available in additional AWS Regions. Conformance packs allow you to bundle AWS Config rules into a single package, simplifying deployment at scale. You can deploy and manage these conformance packs throughout your AWS environment.

Conformance packs provide a general-purpose compliance framework designed to enable you to create security, operational, or cost-optimization governance checks using managed or custom AWS Config rules. This allows you to monitor compliance scores based on your own groupings. With this launch, you can also manage the AWS Config conformance packs and individual AWS Config rules at the organization level which simplifies the compliance management across your AWS Organization.

With this expansion, AWS Config Conformance Packs are now also available in the following AWS Regions: Asia Pacific (Malaysia), Asia Pacific (New Zealand), Asia Pacific (Thailand), Asia Pacific (Taipei) and Mexico (Central).

What to do

• Use the provided sample conformance pack templates or craft a custom YAML file from scratch based on a custom conformance pack.
• Deploy conformance packs through the AWS Config console, AWS CLI, or via AWS CloudFormation.
• Monitor compliance scores based on your own groupings.
