AWS Config Recorder

This tool models an AWS Config configuration recorder. Users provide inputs that map directly to the recorder properties: name, role_arn, recording_group, and delivery_channel. The core logic validates required fields, ensures ARN formats, and enforces AWS constraints such as: if allSupported is true, resourceTypes must be empty; if includeGlobalResourceTypes is true, global resources included. The tool does not call AWS APIs; it generates a validation plan and a configuration object ready for IaC or API usage.
The tool exposes required inputs (recorder name, role ARN, delivery channel) and optional advanced controls (recordingGroup with allSupported, includeGlobalResourceTypes, and specific resource_types). It enforces AWS constraints, such as allSupported implies no resource_types, and ensures ARNs and bucket names are syntactically valid. Outputs include a configuration object, validation status, and a recommended action set. Advanced features support cross-account references and export-ready payloads for CloudFormation or Terraform.
Audience includes DevOps engineers, cloud architects, and compliance teams; unique value lies in cross-field validation, deployment-ready payloads, and pre-deployment modeling.
Typical use cases include preparing a new recorder for a multi-account setup, validating resource_type filters, and exporting a ready-to-use payload for IaC tooling.
