AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 376

Which AWS service can report how AWS resource configurations have changed over time?

Answer options

• A. AWS CloudTrail
• B. Amazon CloudWatch
• C. AWS Config
• D. Amazon Inspector

Correct answer: C

Explanation

AWS Config is the correct answer because it continuously monitors, records, and audits AWS resource configurations, enabling you to view a detailed history of how a resource was configured over time. AWS CloudTrail tracks user activity and API calls, Amazon CloudWatch focuses on performance metrics and logging, and Amazon Inspector is used for automated security vulnerability assessments, making them incorrect for configuration history tracking.
