# Conformance Packs for Amazon Config
<a name="conformance-packs"></a>

A conformance pack is a collection of Amazon Config rules and remediation actions that can be easily deployed as a single entity in an account and a Region or across an organization in Amazon Organizations.

Conformance packs are created by authoring a YAML template that contains the list of Amazon Config managed or custom rules and remediation actions. You can also use Amazon Systems Manager documents (SSM documents) to store your conformance pack templates on Amazon and directly deploy conformance packs using SSM document names. You can deploy the template by using the Amazon Config console or the Amazon CLI.

You can also create a conformance pack YAML file from scratch based on [Custom Conformance Pack](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/config/latest/developerguide/custom-conformance-pack.html).
