Resource configuration history and compliance rules Partial match
AWS Config maps partly to Cloud Asset Inventory (resource inventory with 35 days of change history) and Security Command Center postures for detecting drift.
- History is limited to 35 days unless you export it.
- Compliance rules come from Security Command Center findings and postures rather than Config rules.
Cloud security posture management (CSPM) Direct match
AWS Security Hub maps to Security Command Center, which detects misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, and threats, with security postures to manage policy drift.
- Standard tier includes basic findings; Premium adds advanced detectors and compliance reporting.
- The Enterprise tier is deprecated (shuts down May 21, 2027).
