AWS Insights Mod
Create dashboards and reports for your AWS resources using Steampipe.
Overview
Dashboards can help answer questions like:
- How many resources do I have?
- How old are my resources?
- Are there any publicly accessible resources?
- Is encryption enabled and what keys are used for encryption?
- Is versioning enabled?
- What are the relationships between closely connected resources like IAM users, groups, and policies?
Dashboards are available for 15+ services, including CloudTrail, EC2, IAM, RDS, S3, VPC, and more!
References
AWS provides on-demand cloud computing platforms and APIs to authenticated customers on a metered pay-as-you-go basis.
Steampipe is an open source CLI to instantly query cloud APIs using SQL.
Steampipe Mods are collections of named queries
, codified controls
that can be used to test current configuration of your cloud resources against a desired configuration, and dashboards
that organize and display key pieces of information.
