Pricing example 1:
AWS Config records each AWS resource and configuration change as a Configuration Item (CI). Assume you record 7,000 CIs/month and have created 5 active rules (2 periodic and 3 change triggered), reporting a combined total of 150 evaluations per day.
AWS Config costs: 7,000 * $0.003 = $21.00
Cost for 5 active rules = 5 * $2.00 = $10.00
Quota for evaluation results = 5 * 20,000 = 100,000
Number of evaluation results used = 150 evaluations * 30 days = 4,500 evaluations/month
Additional charges from evaluation results = $0.0
Total AWS Config monthly charges = $31.00
The service charges you incur depend on the number of CIs recoded by your resources. This depends on the number of resources in your account, and the configuration changes you make to these resources. For an account with several hundred resources, and standard configuration change activity, AWS Config would capture fewer than 3,000 CIs per month, or less than $9 per month.
Pricing Example 2:
Assume you record 50,000 CIs/month and have created 2 active rules, and each of these is evaluated on every CI and report a result results each time.
AWS Config costs: 50,000 * $0.003 = $150.00
Cost for 2 active rules = 2 * $2.00 = $4.00
Quota for evaluation results = 2 * 20,000 = 40,000
Number of evaluation results used = 2 * 50,000 = 100,000
Additional charges from evaluation results = (100,000 – 40,000) = 60,000 * 0.0001 = $6.00
Total AWS Config monthly charges = $150.00 + $4.00+ $6.00 = $160.00
