Amazon Config Pricing

Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) Region operated by Sinnet, Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) Region operated by NWCD.

You pay per configuration item delivered in your Amazon Web Services account per Amazon Web Services Region. A configuration item is created whenever a resource undergoes a configuration change or a relationship change. The resource could be an Amazon Web Services, third-party, or custom resource. A relationship defines how a resource is related to other resources within an Amazon Web Services account. As a result, even when no new resources are created (such as when a security group is attached to an Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud [EC2] instance), a configuration item can be recorded.

There are two frequencies at which Amazon Config can deliver configuration items: periodic and continuous. Periodic recording delivers configuration data once every 24 hours, only if a change has occurred, which may be useful for use cases such as operational planning or audit. Continuous recording delivers configuration items whenever a change occurs. It helps you meet security and compliance requirements to track all configuration changes.

You can stop recording configuration items at any time and still continue to access the previously recorded configuration items. Charges per configuration item are rolled up into your monthly bill.

You are charged based on the number of Amazon Config rule evaluations recorded. A rule evaluation is recorded every time a resource is evaluated for compliance against an Amazon Config rule. Rule evaluations can be run in detective mode and/or in proactive mode, if available. Read more about detective and proactive modes here. If you are running a rule in both detective mode and proactive mode, you will be charged for only the evaluations in detective mode. Prices are as follows.
