DeleteConfigRule (smaws-clients.Smaws_Client_ConfigService.DeleteConfigRule)

Module Smaws_Client_ConfigService.DeleteConfigRule

Deletes the specified Config rule and all of its evaluation results.

Config sets the state of a rule to DELETING until the deletion is complete. You cannot update a rule while it is in this state. If you make a PutConfigRule or DeleteConfigRule request for the rule, you will receive a ResourceInUseException.

You can check the state of a rule by using the DescribeConfigRules request.

Recommendation: Stop recording resource compliance before deleting rules

It is highly recommended that you stop recording for the AWS::Config::ResourceCompliance resource type before you delete rules in your account. Deleting rules creates CIs for AWS::Config::ResourceCompliance and can affect your Config configuration recorder costs. If you are deleting rules which evaluate a large number of resource types, this can lead to a spike in the number of CIs recorded.

Best practice:

Stop recording AWS::Config::ResourceCompliance

Delete rule(s)

Turn on recording for AWS::Config::ResourceCompliance
