Steampipe
Queries live cloud resource state via SQL — turns AWS/Azure/GCP APIs into queryable tables for custom compliance/best-practice checks and reporting. Alternative to Prowler for AWS_Trusted_Advisor/AWS_Audit_Manager-style auditing when custom SQL queries are preferred over pre-built rule sets; also usable as the resource-config query layer behind Cloud_Custodian-style policy checks.
