AWS Config Adds Support for AWS Shield

Posted on: Aug 7, 2018

You can now record configuration changes to AWS Shield using AWS Config. AWS Shield is a managed Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection service that safeguards applications running on AWS. With Config, you can track changes to the protection settings, such as the resources being protected, and use this information to maintain a configuration change history for audit and operational troubleshooting purposes.

You can access the configuration change history for AWS Shield global resources using the AWS Config console in US East (N. Virginia) region. You can access the change history for Shield regional resources using the Config console in the US East (N.Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (Oregon), US West (N.California), EU (Ireland), EU (Frankfurt), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), and Asia Pacific (Sydney) Regions.
