Management and Governance on AWS

Business agility and governance control
In the past, organizations have had to choose between innovating faster and maintaining control over cost, compliance, and security. With AWS Management and Governance services, customers don’t have to choose between innovation and control—they can have both. With AWS, customers can enable, provision, and operate their environment for both business agility and governance control.
Scale
AWS Management and Governance services are built to manage highly dynamic cloud resources at massive scale.
Simplicity
AWS reduces complexity, offering a single control plane for customers to manage and govern their resources in AWS, on-premises, and other clouds.
Third-party solutions
AWS offers the broadest partner ecosystem for customers to extend and augment their management and governance system.
Cost savings
Customers can use AWS Management and Governance services to assess their resource utilization and identify ways to reduce costs.

"We need an infrastructure-wide inventory of our AWS resources to answer questions like ‘which resources do we have deployed?’, ‘where are they deployed?’, ‘how are they configured?’, and ‘which changes were made?” Before AWS Config, we needed to manually develop tooling to collect the proper inventory of our AWS resources with change history. Now, using Config, we can meet our security requirements and eliminate the need to maintain our own tooling for this purpose.”

"We chose AWS Systems Manager because we were looking for a robust solution for our support personnel to access Amazon EC2 instances along with capability of an audit trail. With Systems Manager, we can rid engineers from this undifferentiated heavy lifting. And as a result, we have reduced our footprint of bastion hosts per VPC, saving numerous instances."
