AWS Config maps to a combination of Azure Policy (compliance evaluation and remediation) and Azure Resource Graph (inventory and change history).
- Recording. Config records configuration items and relationships continuously for the resource types you select, with history you can keep for years. Resource Graph change analysis covers recent property changes, so long-term history needs exports.
- Rules. Config rules (managed or custom Lambda or Guard) and conformance packs map to Azure Policy definitions and initiatives. Azure Policy can also block non-compliant deployments up front.
