Watchmen is a framework designed to centralize AWS Config rule lambda functions into a single AWS account for streamlined management and automation. The framework consists of several key components: - Lambda functions written in Python that perform compliance checks - CloudWatch integration for monitoring and alerting - ElasticSearch for log ingestion and analysis - Additional lambda functions for generating reports The tool addresses the challenge of managing distributed AWS Config rules by providing a centralized approach to compliance monitoring. It enables organizations to consolidate their compliance checking logic into a unified system rather than having rules scattered across multiple accounts. The framework automates compliance verification processes and provides visibility into configuration compliance across AWS environments. Through its integration with CloudWatch and ElasticSearch, it offers monitoring capabilities and log analysis functionality for compliance-related activities.
