AWS Config now supports 8 new resource types

AWS Config adds support for 8 new resource types across Amazon API Gateway, Amazon EC2, and Amazon S3 Vectors, expanding coverage of AWS resources for discovery, assessment, auditing, and remediation

AWS Config now supports eight additional AWS resource types across key services including Amazon API Gateway, Amazon EC2, and Amazon S3 Vectors. 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. If you have enabled recording for all resource types, AWS Config will automatically track these new additions. The newly supported resource types are also available in Config rules and Config aggregators.
