AWS Config Resource Type Expansion

AWS Config now supports 21 additional AWS resource types across key services including Amazon EC2, Amazon SageMaker, and Amazon S3 Tables. This expansion provides greater coverage over your AWS environment, enabling you to more effectively discover, assess, audit, and remediate an even broader range of resources.

With this launch, if you have enabled recording for all resource types, then AWS Config will automatically track these new additions. The newly supported resource types are also available in Config rules and Config aggregators.
