AWS config medium security documentation change

Service: config · 2025-08-16 · Security-related medium

File: config/latest/developerguide/managing-rules-by-region-availability.md

Summary

Added multiple AWS Config managed rules including checks for resource tagging compliance, HTTPS usage for DataSync, internal ELB scheme validation, SQS dead-letter queue configuration, and security-focused policies.

Security assessment

Several added rules address security controls: 'datasync-location-object-storage-using-https' enforces HTTPS for data-in-transit encryption (security feature), 'elb-internal-scheme-check' prevents accidental public exposure of load balancers, and 'sqs-queue-policy-full-access-check' mitigates over-permissive access risks. These changes document security best practices.
