DESCRIPTION	RQL
View users who enabled console access with both access keys and passwords.	config from cloud.resource where api.name = 'aws-iam-get-credential-report' AND json.rule = access_key_1_active is true or access_key_2_active is true and password_enabled is true

Check for S3:GetObject operations.	You can include other operations related to S3 buckets, such as s3:PutObject, s3:, s3:GetBucketAcl, s3:ListBucket, s3:ListAllMyBuckets, s3:PutObjectAcl, s3:GetObjectAcl, and s3:GetObjectVersion. config from cloud.resource where api.name = 'aws-s3api-get-bucket-acl' and json.rule = "policy.Statement exists and policy.Statement[?(@.Action=='s3:GetObject' && @.Effect=='Allow' \|\| @.Action=='s3:ListBucket' && @.Effect=='Allow' \|\| @.Action=='s3:' && @.Effect=='Allow' \|\| @.Action=='s3:GetBucketAcl' && @.Effect=='Allow' \|\| @.Action=='s3:PutObject' && @.Effect=='Allow' \|\| @.Action=='s3:GetObjectAcl' && @.Effect=='Allow' \|\| @.Action=='s3:GetObjectVersion' && @.Effect=='Allow')].Principal contains *"

List Azure VNETs that are peered successfully.	config from cloud.resource where cloud.type = 'azure' AND api.name = 'azure-network-vnet-list' AND json.rule = " ['properties.virtualNetworkPeerings'][*]. ['properties.provisioningState'] contains Succeeded "
Display a count of the number of Azure Activity log alerts if the total number is less than one.	config from cloud.resource where api.name = 'azure-activity-log-alerts' as X; count(X) < 1
Display Azure hosts that match the queried private IP address.	config from cloud.resource where api.name = 'azure-vm-list' AND json.rule = ['properties.networkProfile'].networkInterfaces[*].privateIpAddress contains "1"
