config-cost-optimization
A skill for AWS DevOps Agent that looks for ways to reduce AWS Config costs and puts numbers on them.
What the skill teaches
A skill for AWS DevOps Agent that looks for ways to reduce AWS Config costs and puts numbers on them. It checks configuration recorders, continuous versus daily recording, which resource types are recorded, Config rules, conformance packs and the delivery bucket, and points out resources that generate many configuration items, recording that is broader than needed, global resources recorded more than once and overlapping rules. Every call it makes is read-only, it changes nothing itself, and returns a report ranked by severity.
Capabilities
- Find resources driving AWS Config configuration items
- Compare continuous and daily recording
- Spot duplicate global-resource recording
- Identify redundant rules and conformance packs
