# Config

* 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 so that you can **see how the configurations and relationships change over time**.\\

* A **Config rule represents your desired configuration settings for specific AWS resources** or for an entire AWS account.\\

* Config provides **customizable, predefined rules to help you get started**.\\

* **If a resource violates a rule**, Config **flags the resource and the rule as noncompliant**, and Config **notifies you through SNS**.
