This role can be used to audit or remediate a host against the Center for Internet Security (CIS) security benchmarks.
Disclaimer: This project has no affiliation with CIS. The role and its contents have not been reviewed or endorsed by CIS.
this project is forked from https://github.com/major/cis-rhel-ansible reason it was split is because this role keeps everything under roles so it breaks with ansible-galaxy and makes it more difficult to keep separate repo's per role Roles have been fixed to work for centos & rhel 6/7 Tests have been added with kitchen
This role has no requirements or dependencies. This role runs on rhel-centos 6 / 7
A description of the settable variables for this role should go here, including any variables that are in defaults/main.yml, vars/main.yml, and any variables that can/should be set via parameters to the role. Any variables that are read from other roles and/or the global scope (ie. hostvars, group vars, etc.) should be mentioned here as well.
Some sensible defaults are configured and documented within defaults/main.yml. These defaults are set so they would cause minimal disruption to a production system. However, it's your responsibility to verify that the default configuration will not harm your production server. Always run the role in check mode if you're unsure of its effects.
Be aware that some of the default variables are set against CIS recommendations in the hopes that they will cause minimal disruption to a system.
Installing kitchen : gem install kitchen Run Tests: kitchen setup all
Playbooks can utilize the CIS role without much effort:
- hosts: all
roles:
- cis
The role is thoroughly tagged so that you can run certain sections or certain levels of checks:
# Test only items from section 4
ansible-playbook -i hosts -C playbook.yml -t section4
# Apply changes only from items in section 4, 5, and 6
ansible-playbook -i hosts playbook.yml -t section4,section5,section6
