openstack-ansible-security

DEPRECATION NOTICE: The openstack-ansible-security role is deprecated and will be retired soon. Consumers of this role should use the ansible-hardening role instead.

Overview

The openstack-ansible security role applies security hardening configurations from the Security Technical Implementation Guide(STIG) to systems running Ubuntu 14.04, Ubuntu 16.04, CentOS 7, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

The role is part of the OpenStack-Ansible project, which deploys enterprise-grade OpenStack clouds using Ansible. However, the role can easily be used outside of an OpenStack environment to secure hosts, virtual machines, and containers.

For more details, review the openstack-ansible-security documentation.
