# AWS Config with Terraform

This example shows enabling [Config](https://aws.amazon.com/documentation/config/). It includes setting up
a role for Config to use, an S3 bucket for logging, and uses a pre-existing SNS topic to send alerts.
In reality, it would be expected that the resources used by [terraform-aws-cloudtrail](https://github.com/LeapBeyond/terraform-aws-cloudtrail)
and [terraform-aws-guardduty](https://github.com/LeapBeyond/terraform-aws-guardduty) would be shared in a coordinated
fashion rather than creating independent S3 and IAM resources.

This example uses a reasonably complete set of [managed Config rules](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/config/latest/developerguide/managed-rules-by-aws-config.html),
but does not include an example of writing your own rules to be managed by Lambda. [Config](https://aws.amazon.com/documentation/config/) is a particularly
sophisticated service, and ideally you go into using it with some understanding of what the rules are that you want on your account. Be cautious as well,
the [pricing](https://aws.amazon.com/config/pricing/) on this service gets pretty exciting if you are just experimenting!

## Usage
It is assumed that:
 - appropriate AWS credentials are available
 - terraform is available

Make a `terraform.tfvars` file using the `terraform.tfvars.template`, and then

```
terraform init
terraform apply
```

Eventually you should see output similar to

```
bucket_arn = arn:aws:s3:::config20180319151029294700000001
recorder_id = config-example
```
