AWS Config adds 191 new managed rules across key services like Amazon Bedrock and SageMaker, enhancing governance for AI workloads and core cloud infrastructure

AWS Config now supports 191 additional managed rules across key services including Amazon Bedrock, Amazon SageMaker, Amazon ECS, Amazon EKS, Amazon RDS, Amazon Redshift, Amazon S3, and Amazon CloudTrail. This expansion increases built-in governance coverage across AI workloads and core cloud infrastructure. Examples of the new managed rules include evaluating resource configurations for encryption, logging, public access, network security, data protection, and other operational best practices across AWS services. With this launch, you can deploy these new managed rules individually or as part of a conformance pack in the AWS Regions where the corresponding AWS services are available.
