Resource Type
Resource type indicates that resources with the same characteristics in the same cloud service are of the same type. The resource type names are specified in the six-segment resource format. For example, computing instances and storage instances are entity resources. Roles and policies are management resources.
Resource types are represented using resource identifiers in Config. For more information, see Supported Resource Types.
Associated Resource
Associated resources are those that have a relationship with the current resource. For example:
1. The current resource is contained in the associated resource. Example: a CVM instance is contained in a VPC.
2. The current resource is related to the associated resource. Example: a CVM instance is related to a CVM security group.
3. The current resource attaches to the associated resource. Example: a CVM instance is attached to an EIP.
4. The current resource contains the associated resource. Example: a VPC contains a NAT gateway.
For more information, see Supported Resource Types.
Resource timeline
Resource timeline refers to the complete lifecycle data of the resource, including the configuration, configuration changes, operations on the resource (addition, deletion, and edition), and results of resource compliance evaluation. The specific configuration information of each node is defined and displayed through a configuration item (ConfigurationItem). For more information, see Viewing Resource Details.
Configuration Item
Configuration item (ConfigurationItem) is the collection of various attributes of a resource at a certain point in time and is composed of the basic information (Metadata), resource attributes (Attribute), associated resources (Relationship), and detailed configuration information (Configuration). For more information, see Viewing Resource Details.
Rule
Rule refers to a rule function used to evaluate whether the resource configuration is compliant. Config uses functions to carry rule codes. Currently, Config supports only managed rules, that is, rule templates predefined by Config. When you create a new rule, you can directly select a managed rule in the Config console. For more information, see Rules.
Managed Rule
Managed rules are predefined in Config and can be directly selected in the Config console when users are creating a new rule. For managed rules currently supported by the system, see Supported Managed Rules.
Compliance Evaluation Result
Compliance evaluation result refers to the result of compliance evaluation on resources related to the rule at a given point in time.
Conformance pack
Conformance pack is a collection of rules tailored to specific compliance evaluation scenarios. Config has provided a predefined conformance pack template. Users can also create custom conformance packs. For the conformance pack template currently supported by the system, see Supported Compliance Package Templates.
