    Guard offers a policy-as-code domain-specific language (DSL) to write rules and validate JSON- and YAML-formatted data such as CloudFormation Templates, K8s configurations, and Terraform JSON plans/configurations against those rules.

  • AWS Config rules allow you to determine if a resource is compliant or not. Previously when you wanted to do custom checks you needed to write AWS Lambda functions to validate the configuration of a resource. Since Aug 2, 2022 you have the ability to use cfn-guard rules to achieve the same.
