AWS Assurance
#163 · Level 4 · Operations and specialized areas · Governance, multi-account and costConcept
Section titled “Concept”AWS Assurance is a service that automatically checks how ready a workload running on AWS is to meet a compliance standard (readiness assessment). Compliance means following laws, industry standards or audit rules. Before an audit, a company needs to know where its system follows the rules and where there are gaps — this is called a readiness assessment. AWS Assurance is built to do this checking automatically instead of by hand. It is a very new AWS service, and very few details about it have been published so far.
Simple example
Section titled “Simple example”A mock test before the real exam. You find out in advance which parts you are weak in, so you can fix them while there is still time.
Why it’s needed
