AWS Config plays a critical role in managing and monitoring the configuration of AWS resources. This service provides valuable functionality that includes maintaining a comprehensive history of the configurations of AWS resources over time. By recording configuration changes, AWS Config enables users to track how resources evolve, helping to enhance transparency and understanding of resource modifications.

Additionally, AWS Config evaluates the configurations against specified rules, making it possible to assess compliance with internal practices or external regulations. This compliance evaluation ensures that resources remain aligned with organizational policies, thus facilitating governance and risk management.

The combination of configuration history, the tracking of changes, and the ability to assess compliance against predefined rules make AWS Config an essential tool for both operational oversight and security governance in the cloud environment.
