Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
AWS Config
AWS Config can evaluate resource compliance using managed rules (e.g., required-tags) and automatically remediate non-compliant resources via AWS Config remediation actions or AWS Systems Manager Automation. Option B is incorrect because AWS Organizations manages organizational units and service control policies, not resource-level tag enforcement. Option C is incorrect because IAM controls permissions, not tagging standards. Option D is incorrect because AWS Resource Groups & Tag Editor helps manage tags but does not prevent or auto-remediate non-compliant resource creation.
