AWS Config Cost Optimization

Identify, quantify, and prioritize AWS Config cost optimization opportunities aligned with Optimize AWS Config costs, Cost optimization recommendations for AWS Config, and AWS Config pricing.

This skill uses read-only Config, CloudWatch, S3, and Organizations APIs only. It never starts, stops, or reconfigures a recorder, rule, or conformance pack — all remediation is delivered as recommendations for a human to review and apply.

When to Use

Activate this skill when the user asks to:

• Reduce or optimize AWS Config costs
• Investigate an unexpected Config cost or configuration-item (CI) spike
• Decide between continuous and daily recording frequency
• Review which resource types are recorded, or which rules/conformance packs run
• Perform a Config cost review or FinOps assessment
