AWS Config now supports HAQM Elastic Container Service (HAQM ECS), HAQM Elastic Container Registry (HAQM ECR), and HAQM Elastic Kubernetes Service (HAQM EKS) in all AWS Regions. With this launch, you can now use AWS Config to monitor configuration data for container-based resources in your AWS account, such as monitoring configuration changes to EKS cluster settings and tracking compliance for cluster configurations. AWS Config provides a detailed view of the configuration of AWS resources in your AWS account, including how resources were configured, how they relate to one another, and how the configurations and relationships change over time.

Get started by enabling AWS Config in your account by using the AWS Config console or the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI). Select the HAQM container resource types for which you want to track configuration changes, such as ECS::Cluster, ECS::Service, ECS::TaskDefinition, ECR::Repository, and EKS::Cluster. If you previously configured AWS Config to record all resource types, then HAQM ECS, HAQM ECR, and HAQM EKS resources will be automatically recorded in your account. For ECS::Service resource type, AWS Config will only record the resource type with the new HAQM Resource Name (ARN) and resource ID format.

AWS Config support for HAQM container services is available to AWS Config customers in all commercial AWS Regions and AWS GovCloud (US).
