steampipe VS Fleet

Steampipe is a tool for querying cloud APIs and other data sources using SQL in a zero-ETL manner.

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.)

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:

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.

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.

Steampipe [1] is an open source project [2] that includes an embedded Postgres to instantly query cloud, code & more with SQL. This release expands our plugin ecosystem [3] to be a full Zero-ETL platform. Steampipe plugins can now run natively in your own Postgres as Foreign Data Wrappers [4], as SQLite extensions [5] or as simple data export tools [6]. Please give it a try, we'd love your feedback and contributions!

Yo! We're working on the fix. You can track progress here: https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/issues/17165

Disclosure #2: I'm the CEO

One of my fav things about this is that we're solving the "Linux MDM problem". As a person who likes to use Linux, it's exciting that, no matter how big the company gets, I can still use whatever OS I want at work (and still be "offboard-able", with everyone passing their audits.)

Source code for Fleet is available at https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet.

It is indeed early stage. The oldest company is Fleet https://fleetdm.com/ who do open source device management and raised at $100m post in 2022 https://techcrunch.com/2022/04/28/fleet-nabs-20m-to-enable-e...

Thanks for clarifying. You may want to look into Fleet at the link below. The intent of the question wasn't to voice an opinion but to determine if any opensource solutions that cost more to support via self-hosting would incur more costs than Intune licenses if it's only for one customer.

Looking at Fleet for managing primarily Mac-based environments.

Supposedly, One can search github using `language:typescript filename:docker-compose.yml stars:>1000` but it's not working for me somehow.

Osquery + Fleet. https://osquery.io/ https://fleetdm.com/, using the two allows you to build a query to answer what ever questions you (or an auditor) might have about your environment.

Also see Fleet (https://fleetdm.com/) for an open source self-hosted solution. I'm currently using this at a small company to query / enforce policies across a bunch of Windows laptops.
