Config provides a way to keep track of the configurations of all the Amazon Web Services resources associated with your Amazon Web Services account. You can use Config to get the current and historical configurations of each Amazon Web Services resource and also to get information about the relationship between the resources. An Amazon Web Services resource can be an Amazon Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instance, an Elastic Block Store (EBS) volume, an elastic network Interface (ENI), or a security group. For a complete list of resources currently supported by Config, see Supported Amazon Web Services resources.
You can access and manage Config through the Amazon Web Services Management Console, the Amazon Web Services Command Line Interface (Amazon Web Services CLI), the Config API, or the Amazon Web Services SDKs for Config. This reference guide contains documentation for the Config API and the Amazon Web Services CLI commands that you can use to manage Config. The Config API uses the Signature Version 4 protocol for signing requests. For more information about how to sign a request with this protocol, see Signature Version 4 Signing Process. For detailed information about Config features and their associated actions or commands, as well as how to work with Amazon Web Services Management Console, see What Is Config in the Config Developer Guide.

The configuration state of a resource is represented in Config as Configuration Items. Once this API records the configuration item, you can retrieve the list of configuration items for the custom resource type using existing Config APIs.
The custom resource type must be registered with CloudFormation. This API accepts the configuration item registered with CloudFormation.
When you call this API, Config only stores configuration state of the resource provided in the request. This API does not change or remediate the configuration of the resource.
Write-only schema properites are not recorded as part of the published configuration item.
The type of the resource. The custom resource type must be registered with CloudFormation.
You cannot use the organization names “amzn”, “amazon”, “alexa”, “custom” with custom resource types. It is the first part of the ResourceType up to the first ::.
The configuration object of the resource in valid JSON format. It must match the schema registered with CloudFormation.
The configuration JSON must not exceed 64 KB.
Tags associated with the resource.
This field is not to be confused with the Amazon Web Services-wide tag feature for Amazon Web Services resources. Tags for PutResourceConfig are tags that you supply for the configuration items of your custom resources.
