Performing security benchmarks on your cloud resources is an important step in ensuring the security and compliance of your organization's cloud environment.

While security benchmarks are often associated with large corporations, they provide invaluable insights and guidance for organizations and individuals of all sizes. Benchmarks offer a wealth of information on potential security risks, best practices, and compliance requirements that can help fortify your cloud environment—even if you're not legally obligated to adhere to them.

In this blog post, we'll explore the benefits of performing security benchmarks on your cloud resources and introduce Resoto Sentinel, the Resoto security module designed to simplify the benchmarking process.

EC2 instances often account for the largest portion of your AWS bill. Yet, it's notoriously difficult to get a simple list of all EC2 instances across all regions and accounts, as threads on StackOverflow and Reddit show.

You also then want to use that list to ask questions about your inventory, such as:

  • How many total instances are there?
  • Which instances are running?
  • Which instances are missing tags?
  • Which resources have an expiration date?

In this post, I'll describe how to use Resoto to build an EC2 cloud asset inventory. The baseline inventory is a list with all EC2 instances, which you then can use to create more narrow and detailed views.

Cloud2SQL is a tool based on Resoto's collector plugins that allows you to collect data from various cloud infrastructure sources and export it to a database (like Snowflake, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, or MySQL) or write it as Parquet, SQLite, or CSV files for ingestion in your data lake.

In this post, I will guide you through the process of installing Cloud2SQL and demonstrate how to export data from AWS to a local SQLite database file.

Whether you are looking to integrate cloud data into your existing SQL workflows or simply want an easy way to access and analyze data from multiple cloud sources, Cloud2SQL is an excellent tool to consider.

One of the key features of Resoto is its ability to collect data from a wide range of cloud providers, including Amazon Web Services (AWS), DigitalOcean, and Google Cloud. This makes it easy to get a comprehensive view of your cloud infrastructure, no matter where it is deployed.

But, what sets Resoto apart from other cloud data collection tools is its ability to enrich the data it collects and make additional connections. This means that Resoto not only gathers raw data about your cloud resources, but also adds additional context and information that can help you better understand your cloud environment.
