Config Recorder Meta

AWS.Config.Recorder.Meta
Resource ID Format
For Config Recorder Meta resources, the resource ID is constructed as such:
[AccountId]::AWS.Config.Recorder.Meta
Example:
123456789012::AWS.Config.Recorder.Meta
This allows you to differentiate between Config Recorder Meta resources across all AWS accounts you have linked by looking at the characters before the first colon.
