Auditing three clouds without writing three scripts

· 6 min read
Cloud Consultant and AWS Community Builder

If you've audited buckets in more than one cloud, you already know what this is like. Three consoles. Three CLIs. Three auth patterns. And a bit of glue code to pull the outputs together every time someone asks a question that spans all three.

The question is usually simple. "Which buckets are public across all our clouds?" You end up running three separate scripts, then reconciling three different output shapes just to give one answer.

This tutorial doesn't make that faster. It replaces it. One query, one view, all three clouds.

StackQL allows you to query and interact with your cloud and SaaS assets using a simple SQL framework. Use cases include CSPM, asset inventory and analysis, finops and more, as well as our IaC and ops (lifecycle management).

The three major cloud providers all offer a built-in Linux shell for executing commands using their respective CLIs; in some cases, they come with tools like terraform pre-installed. They are pre-authorized with your credentials in the cloud console for the user you authenticated with.

Now you can easily use stackql - a unified analytics and IaC dev tool - in all major cloud providers' built-in shells, using cloud shell scripts packaged with the stackql Linux binary (available from v0.5.587 onwards).
