# Kubernetes Compliance Mod for Powerpipe



Multiple checks covering industry defined security best practices for Kubernetes. The mod supports parsing and analyzing Kubernetes manifest files, allowing you to assess compliance directly on your configuration files before deployment. Includes support for CIS, National Security Agency (NSA) and Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) Cybersecurity technical report for Kubernetes hardening.



Run checks in a dashboard:

Or in a terminal:

## Documentation

- **[Named queries →](https://hub.powerpipe.io/mods/turbot/kubernetes_compliance/queries)**



## Getting Started



### Installation



Install Powerpipe (https://powerpipe.io/downloads), or use Brew:



```sh

brew install turbot/tap/powerpipe

```



This mod also requires [Steampipe](https://steampipe.io) with the [Kubernetes plugin](https://hub.steampipe.io/plugins/turbot/kubernetes) as the data source. Install Steampipe (https://steampipe.io/downloads), or use Brew:



```sh

brew install turbot/tap/steampipe

steampipe plugin install kubernetes

```



Steampipe will automatically use your default Kubernetes credentials. Optionally, you can [setup multiple context connections](https://hub.steampipe.io/plugins/turbot/kubernetes#multiple-context-connections) or [customize Kubernetes credentials](https://hub.steampipe.io/plugins/turbot/kubernetes#configuring-kubernetes-cluster-credentials).



Finally, install the mod:



```sh

mkdir dashboards

cd dashboards

powerpipe mod init

powerpipe mod install github.com/turbot/steampipe-mod-kubernetes-compliance

```



### Browsing Dashboards



Start Steampipe as the data source:



```sh

steampipe service start

```



Start the dashboard server:



```sh

powerpipe server

```



Browse and view your dashboards at **http://localhost:9033**.



### Running Checks in Your Terminal



Instead of running benchmarks in a dashboard, you can also run them within your

terminal with the `powerpipe benchmark` command:



List available benchmarks:



```sh

powerpipe benchmark list

```



Run a benchmark:



```sh

powerpipe benchmark run kubernetes_compliance.benchmark.cis_v170

```



Different output formats are also available, for more information please see

[Output Formats](https://powerpipe.io/docs/reference/cli/benchmark#output-formats).



### Common and Tag Dimensions



The benchmark queries use common properties (like `connection_name`, `context_name`, `namespace`, `path` and `source_type`) and tags that are defined in the form of a default list of strings in the `variables.sp` file. These properties can be overwritten in several ways:



It's easiest to setup your vars file, starting with the sample:



```sh

cp powerpipe.ppvars.example powerpipe.ppvars

vi powerpipe.ppvars

```



Alternatively you can pass variables on the command line:



```sh

powerpipe benchmark run kubernetes_compliance.benchmark.cis_v170 --var 'tag_dimensions=["Environment", "Owner"]'

```



Or through environment variables:



```sh

export PP_VAR_common_dimensions='["connection_name", "context_name", "namespace", "path", "source_type"]'

export PP_VAR_tag_dimensions='["Environment", "Owner"]'

powerpipe benchmark run kubernetes_compliance.benchmark.cis_v170

```
