AWS Config now supports 4 new resource types

Posted on: Feb 7, 2025

AWS Config now supports 4 additional AWS resource types. 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.

You can now use AWS Config to monitor the following newly supported resource types in all AWS Regions where the supported resources are available:

• AWS::EC2::VPCBlockPublicAccessExclusion
• AWS::EC2::VPCBlockPublicAccessOptions
• AWS::S3Express::BucketPolicy
• AWS::S3Express::DirectoryBucket
