Correct answer: Use AWS Config rules to detect configuration changes and configure a remediation action that uses AWS Systems Manager Automation documents to revert the configuration..
Why this is the answer
AWS Config rules continuously evaluate resource configurations against desired settings. When a non-compliant change is detected, a remediation action can be automatically triggered. Integrating AWS Systems Manager Automation documents with Config rules allows for predefined scripts to execute, effectively reverting the resource to its compliant state without manual intervention. This fully automates the reversion process. CloudWatch alarms notify administrators but don't automate reversion. CloudFormation manages infrastructure as code, but directly updating a stack to revert a change isn't as dynamic or automated for unexpected, out-of-band changes as Config rules with remediation. Trusted Advisor provides recommendations but requires manual action for remediation.
