Yet Another Testing & Auditing Solution

The goal of YATAS is to help you create a secure AWS environment without too much hassle. It won't check for all best practices but only for the ones that are important for you based on my experience. Please feel free to tell me if you find something that is not covered.

YATAS is a simple and easy to use tool to audit your infrastructure for misconfiguration or potential security issues.

Reporting Plugins

You can ignore results of checks by adding the following to your .yatas.yml file:

  - id: "AWS_VPC_004"

    values: 
      - "VPC Flow Logs are not enabled on vpc-.*"

    regex: false
    values: 
      - "VPC has only one gateway on vpc-08ffec87e034a8953"

You can exclude a test by adding the following to your .yatas.yml file:

plugins:
  - name: "aws"
    enabled: true
    description: "Check for AWS good practices"
    exclude:
      - AWS_S3_001

To only run a specific test, add the following to your .yatas.yml file:

plugins:
  - name: "aws"
    enabled: true
    description: "Check for AWS good practices"
    include:
      - "AWS_VPC_003"
      - "AWS_VPC_004"

You can get the error logs by adding the following to your env variables:

The available log levels are: debug, info, warn, error, fatal, panic and off by default
