# Scope


Defines which resources trigger an evaluation for an AWS Config rule. The scope can include one or more resource types, a combination of a tag key and value, or a combination of one resource type and one resource ID. Specify a scope to constrain which resources trigger an evaluation for a rule. Otherwise, evaluations for the rule are triggered when any resource in your recording group changes in configuration.
