Stack/Resource testing tools?
I am looking for an alternative to inspec-aws. It is a great tool but has poor coverage of resources and doesn't look like it will ever catch up. Are there any similar alternatives? I have seen Taskcat but it is not quite the same and not what I am looking for. I am looking for something that can test for existence/configuration of existing resources no matter how they were created.

Show HN: Query Your Sheets with SheetSQL
Readers may also enjoy Steampipe [1], an open source CLI to live query Google Sheets [2] and 140+ other services with SQL (e.g. AWS, GitHub, etc). It uses Postgres Foreign Data Wrappers under the hood and supports joins etc across the services. (Disclaimer - I'm a lead on the project.)

Osquery: An sqlite3 virtual table exposing operating system data to SQL
be mindful of its AGPLv3 https://github.com/turbot/steampipe/blob/v0.21.8/LICENSE (AFAIK v0.4.3 is the last MIT release https://github.com/turbot/steampipe/blob/v0.4.3/LICENSE ) and the actual providers are Apache 2 <https://github.com/turbot/steampipe-plugin-aws/blob/v0.131.0...> (but I don't know if provider drift makes them compatible with 0.4 or not)
iasql seems to be AWS only, but good for them for taking this on:

How to run an AWS CIS v3.0 assessment in CloudShell
In a prior post I showed how to install Steampipe in AWS CloudShell to instantly query over 460+ resource types from your AWS APIs using SQL, and another post on how to use the Steampipe AWS Compliance mod to assess over 25+ security benchmarks across your AWS accounts.

Cutting down AWS cost by $150k per year simply by shutting things off
Readers may find Steampipe's [1] AWS Thrifty Mod [2] useful. It will automatically scan multiple accounts and regions for 50 cost saving opportunities - many of which are looking for over-provisioned or unused resources. For example, it's crazy how much you can save by doing things like just converting your EBS volumes to the newer gp3 type. Combine with Flowpipe [3] to automate checks and actions. It's all open source and extensible.
