AWS Config

AWS Config tracks your resource inventory and logs changes across your environment. It essentially acts as a continuous audit trail, capturing configuration snapshots and recording modifications over time. This gives you visibility into what resources exist and how they evolve, which is critical for compliance checks and troubleshooting unexpected infrastructure drift.

This service fits teams needing detailed historical data on their AWS assets, but it lacks a free tier. You must contact AWS for pricing, meaning costs are tied directly to the volume of resources tracked and changes recorded. There is no entry-level cost to test it, so budgeting requires careful estimation of your inventory size before deployment.
