# aws-rds-infrastructure-cis-baseline
InSpec Profile to validate the secure configuration of aws-rds-infrastructure-cis-baseline, against [CIS'](https://www.cisecurity.org/cis-benchmarks/) Amazon Web Services Three-tier Web Architecture Benchmark V1.0.0
## Getting Started
It is intended and recommended that InSpec run this profile from a __"runner"__ host (such as a DevOps orchestration server, an administrative management system, or a developer's workstation/laptop) against the target remotely over __AWS CLI__.
The latest versions and installation options are available at the [InSpec](http://inspec.io/) site.
## Tailoring to Your Environment
The following inputs must be configured in an inputs ".yml" file for the profile to run correctly for your specific environment. More information about InSpec inputs can be found in the [InSpec Profile Documentation](https://www.inspec.io/docs/reference/profiles/).
```
# Database instance identifier
db_instance_identifier: []
# VPC Security Group Id
vpc_security_group_id: []
# Allowed IP address range
allowed_ip_address_range: ''
```
## Configuring your AWS CLI
The right system environment variables must be set with your AWS region and credentials and session token to use the AWS CLI and InSpec resources in the AWS environment. InSpec supports the following standard AWS variables:
```
# Set required ENV variables
$ export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=key-id
$ export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=access-key
$ export AWS_SESSION_TOKEN=session_token
$ export AWS_REGION=us-west-1
```
# Running This Baseline Directly from Github
```
# How to run
inspec exec https://github.com/mitre/aws-rds-infrastructure-cis-baseline/archive/master.tar.gz -t aws:// --input-file= --reporter=cli json:
```
### Different Run Options
[Full exec options](https://docs.chef.io/inspec/cli/#options-3)
## Running This Baseline from a local Archive copy
If your runner is not always expected to have direct access to GitHub, use the following steps to create an archive bundle of this baseline and all of its dependent tests:
(Git is required to clone the InSpec profile using the instructions below. Git can be downloaded from the [Git](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git) site.)
When the __"runner"__ host uses this profile baseline for the first time, follow these steps:
```
mkdir profiles
cd profiles
git clone https://github.com/mitre/aws-rds-infrastructure-cis-baseline
inspec archive aws-rds-infrastructure-cis-baseline
inspec exec -t aws:// --input-file= --reporter=cli json:
```
For every successive run, follow these steps to always have the latest version of this baseline:
```
cd aws-rds-infrastructure-cis-baseline
git pull
cd ..
inspec archive aws-rds-infrastructure-cis-baseline --overwrite
inspec exec -t aws:// --input-file= --reporter=cli json:
```
## Viewing the JSON Results
The JSON results output file can be loaded into __[heimdall-lite](https://heimdall-lite.mitre.org/)__ for a user-interactive, graphical view of the InSpec results.
The JSON InSpec results file may also be loaded into a __[full heimdall server](https://github.com/mitre/heimdall)__, allowing for additional functionality such as to store and compare multiple profile runs.
