Pipelines to detect and remediate AWS resources non-compliant with CIS benchmarks.

Documentation

• Pipelines →

Getting Started

Requirements

Docker daemon must be installed and running. Please see Install Docker Engine for more information.

Installation

Download and install Flowpipe (https://flowpipe.io/downloads) and Steampipe (https://steampipe.io/downloads). Or use Brew:

brew install turbot/tap/flowpipe
brew install turbot/tap/steampipe

Install the AWS plugin with Steampipe:

steampipe plugin install aws

Steampipe will automatically use your default AWS credentials. Optionally, you can setup multiple accounts or customize AWS credentials.

Create a connection_import resource to import your Steampipe AWS connections:

vi ~/.flowpipe/config/aws.fpc

connection_import "aws" {
  source      = "~/.steampipe/config/aws.spc"
  connections = ["*"]
}

For more information on importing connections, please see Connection Import.

For more information on connections in Flowpipe, please see Managing Connections.

Clone the mod:

mkdir aws-cis
cd aws-cis
git clone git@github.com:turbot/flowpipe-mod-aws-cis.git

Install the dependencies:

flowpipe mod install

Running CIS Pipelines

To run your first CIS pipeline, you'll need to ensure your Steampipe server is up and running:

steampipe service start

To find your desired CIS pipeline, you can filter the pipeline list output:

flowpipe pipeline list | grep "cis"

Then run your chosen pipeline:

flowpipe pipeline run cis_v400

By default the above approach would find the relevant resources and then send a message to your configured notifier.

Configure Variables

Several pipelines have input variables that can be configured to better match your environment and requirements.

The easiest approach is to setup your flowpipe.fpvars file, starting with the example file:

cp flowpipe.fpvars.example flowpipe.fpvars
vi flowpipe.fpvars

Alternatively, you can pass variables on the command line:

flowpipe pipeline run cis_v400 --var notifier=notifier.default

Or through environment variables:

export FP_VAR_notifier="notifier.default"
flowpipe pipeline run cis_v400

For more information, please see Passing Input Variables
