AWS Config is the correct service for evaluating resource compliance against organizational standards and automatically remediating issues. Here's why:
- AWS Config continuously monitors and records your AWS resource configurations and allows you to automate the evaluation of recorded configurations against desired configurations
- It can automatically remediate non-compliant resources using AWS Config Rules
- Provides compliance history and detailed compliance reports
Why other options are incorrect:
- AWS CloudWatch (A): Primarily for monitoring and observability, not compliance evaluation
- AWS Systems Manager (C): Focuses on operational data and automation, but not specifically designed for compliance evaluation
- AWS Shield (D): A DDoS protection service, not related to compliance evaluation
