The recording strategy for the configuration recorder.
If you set this option to ALL_SUPPORTED_RESOURCE_TYPES, Config records configuration changes for all supported regional resource types. You also must set the allSupported field of RecordingGroup to true.
When Config adds support for a new type of regional resource, Config automatically starts recording resources of that type. For a list of supported resource types, see Supported Resource Types in the Config developer guide.
If you set this option to INCLUSION_BY_RESOURCE_TYPES, Config records configuration changes for only the resource types that you specify in the resourceTypes field of RecordingGroup.
If you set this option to EXCLUSION_BY_RESOURCE_TYPES, Config records configuration changes for all supported resource types, except the resource types that you specify as exemptions to exclude from being recorded in the resourceTypes field of ExclusionByResourceTypes.
The recordingStrategy field is optional when you set the allSupported field of RecordingGroup to true.
The recordingStrategy field is optional when you list resource types in the resourceTypes field of RecordingGroup.
The recordingStrategy field is required if you list resource types to exclude from recording in the resourceTypes field of ExclusionByResourceTypes.
If you choose EXCLUSION_BY_RESOURCE_TYPES for the recording strategy, the exclusionByResourceTypes field will override other properties in the request.
For example, even if you set includeGlobalResourceTypes to false, global resource types will still be automatically recorded in this option unless those resource types are specifically listed as exemptions in the resourceTypes field of exclusionByResourceTypes.
By default, if you choose the EXCLUSION_BY_RESOURCE_TYPES recording strategy, when Config adds support for a new resource type in the Region where you set up the configuration recorder, including global resource types, Config starts recording resources of that type automatically.
