Rule Bundles are a powerful way of evaluating your AWS Organization's compliance against a number of predefined rules crafted from technology best-practices and established industry frameworks. Once you've added a Rule Bundle, you can review its outputs in the Stax console, or by enabling one or more Notifications.
