Assess, Audit, and Evaluate AWS Resources Against AWS Sustainability Best Practices

The article discusses how AWS customers can use AWS Config to assess and audit their cloud resources against AWS Sustainability Best Practices from the Well-Architected Framework.

• AWS Config allows creating rules to evaluate resource configurations and compliance
• Sustainability is a shared responsibility between AWS and customers
• The blog highlights three key sustainability best practices:
  • Managing data lifecycle
  • Optimizing code performance
  • Minimizing network data movement
• AWS provides an example conformance pack with nine Config rules covering services like API Gateway, RDS, Lambda, and S3
• These rules help organizations reduce resource consumption and improve sustainability

The goal is to help customers efficiently evaluate their cloud resources at scale and work towards sustainability goals using AWS Config and conformance packs.
