Add recording setup of Config to every base account provision #528

@andrewpatto

Description

@andrewpatto

We have a base Config setup (daily.. etc..) that we have click-ops applied in each account. We sometimes forget to do it in new accounts.

Config configured correctly is vital for the proper functioning of Security Hub. I suggest we make part of our terraform bootstrap of accounts include an AWS config setup.

Things to note:

  • not sure whether terraform will "update" over the top of recorders that we have already set up by click-ops. Need to check.

Items to set:

  • frequency to daily rather than continuous (too expensive at continuous)
  • send to common config bucket (needs special policy on the bucket to allow writes)
  • reduce days of retention (? we have no legislative need for keeping config records?)
