Why AWS Config?

With AWS Config, you are charged based on the number of configuration items recorded and the number of active AWS Config rule evaluations in your account. A configuration item is a record of the configuration state of a resource in your AWS account. An AWS Config rule evaluation is a compliance state evaluation of a resource by an AWS Config rule in your AWS account.

Pricing examples

Pricing example 1
You have the following usage in the US East (N. Virginia) Region in a 24-hour period: 10 configuration items are recorded from each of 100 Amazon EC2 instances for a total of 1000 configuration items.
Below is the cost of these configuration items if you use continuous recording versus if you use periodic recording. 

Cost of configuration items under continuous recording
1000 continuous configuration items *  €0.0029605727 per continuous configuration item = €2.9605727

Cost of configuration items under periodic recording
Under continuous recording 10 configuration items were recorded per resource. Under periodic recording, only 1 configuration item per resource is generated per day. 
1 periodic configuration item per resource * 100 resources = 100 periodic configuration items
100 periodic configuration items * €0.0118422906 per periodic configuration item = €1.18422906

Pricing example 2

You have the following usage in the AWS European Sovereign Cloud (Germany) region in a given month:
10,000 configuration items recorded across various resource types
50,000 AWS Config rule evaluations across all individual AWS Config rules in the account

Cost of configuration items
10,000 * €0.0029605727 = €29.605727

Cost of AWS Config rules
First 100,000 evaluations at €0.0009868576 each = 50,000 * €0.0009868576 = €49.342880

Total AWS Config bill
€29.605727 + €49.342880 = €78.948607
