Best Tool for Deep Learning

Reviewed on 2022/05/14

Pros

As a product manager, my AWS Config journey is makes me better to understand my product and its working environment. Helped me to learned metadata structure, configurations and relationships over events.

Cons

Learning curve is huge if you are not a technical user. Documentation really helps but also you gonna need an engineer to walkthrough with you. Simplified version for non-tech users should be handy.

Overall, my experience with AWS config has been positive as it is reliable and gets the job done. I primarily use it to monitor my AWS resources and any historical changes in configurations. I haven't had any issues with using AWS config yet.

Pros

AWS config is reliable and allows me to monitor my AWS resources and has a record of changes of configurations as well which is useful for me to monitor and check.

Cons

Nothing in particular, it gets the job done and it is reliable.

AWS Monitoring Infrastructure

Reviewed on 2021/12/04

Pros

Quicker and more straightforward review interaction of your AWS administrations arrangement
Keeping history of changes implies its simple to detect any issues that happen at whatever point any progressions occurred
It gives you a setup depiction of all of your AWS assets and you can store it in AWS S3.
You can coordinate it with AWS CloudTrail to correspond arrangement changes to specific occasions in your record.

Cons

Some time the Config Rules are hard to comprehend and arrange. They could be made simple or have GUI to arrange them. I realize it is hard to construct yet that would be a decent success.
Not the most instinctive interface, but rather with a little becoming acclimated to it is OK.

Best Native Tool for Tracking Configuration Changes

Reviewed on 2022/04/01

Excellent.

Excellent.

Pros

It is built into AWS and supports most services natively. There is no setup and no cost. I use it whenever I need to see if a service or asset is compliant with our needs or to see changes over time to assets.

Cons

It does not show the names of individual assets, only the AWS ID. This is annoying when trying to find a specific item in the console.

Like all Amazon services, it integrates seamlessly into the AWS ecosystem and allows for accurate control of compliance with established business rules.

Cons

- The overall experience with AWS config is excellent and the product is very supportive for all the business processes to be automated and have automations run on schedule to solve business problems.

Pros

- The most important feature is, the tool is more configurable to achieve a lot of business automations and processes
- The tool has a lot of capabilities that the developers can utilize and customize according to the specific set of use-case
- The UI is more intuitive and is very easy to navigate around the application and make necessary implementations

Cons

- The pricing can be more affordable when compared to the available other tools in the market
- The support can be more quicker for the issues raised by the customers
- The product team can build more in-built features and integrations in the system, that way the customer can have less developer down time and can have the go-live date quicker than now.

Using config for an audit log and compliance manager has really given us a peace of mind managing a large number of accounts. We dont really have to worry about something going wrong because we can auto remediate or at least alert on it.

Pros

Using AWS config can be a daunting task as there are essentially endless things it can be used for to keep track of log ins to changes in ec2 tags, but if you set up the correct reporting and alerting using other native AWS tooling you'll have an audit trail and set of compliant resources in your account.

Cons

I would say it is hard to get started from the ground level, but aws provides extensive white papers, examples, videos, and training to get you running at full speed without too much effort.

Broad view of your services

Reviewed on 2022/05/14

Pros

I like that AWS config allows you to view the configuration of your resources in one place. Configuration history is a very useful tool for tracking configuration changes over time, and you can even compare to your AWS CloudTrail logs to see which users are changing config in your accounts.

Cons

There is a steep learning curve for using this software. AWS provides training, youtube videos, tutorials etc, so I would recommend starting there to lessen the incline of this curve.
