Description
Hello,
We noticed that the config recorder had high cost associated with recording spot instances and related resources like network interfaces and security groups.
We wanted to check if there is any way to set the config recorder recording frequency of spot instances and their related activity to daily without affecting other EC2 instances. i.e. if the instance is spot then it should be recorded daily or else it should be monitored continuously along with its other related resources.
Is this something that can be done?
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the AWS Config recorder and EC2 Spot Instance documentation to determine whether recording frequency can be selected per resource type or instance category. The issue mentions no repository files or tests; done would mean establishing whether Spot instances and related resources can use DAILY recording without changing continuous recording for other EC2 instances.
