Abstract
Configurations of computing resources established on a web-based computing service can be monitored, managed and controlled. According to an embodiment, a configuration compliance service is implemented. Policy rules governing attributes of configuration states for computing resources in a subscriber's account are defined. The computing resources in the account are monitored for changes to configuration states. In response to detection of a change to a configuration state that violates a rule, a predefined action is taken. The predefined action can include sending a notification to the subscriber's account, reconfiguring the configuration state of the computing resource, and deactivating the computing resource.
