I would like to introduce complyctl, a new command-line utility available since Fedora 42, designed to streamline security compliance for Fedora users. It highlights how complyctl leverages the “ComplianceAsCode” approach with a flexible plugin system (including OpenSCAP) to automate and standardize compliance checks, making them faster, more accurate, and easily integrated into workflows.
Article Description:
The plan is to provide a comprehensive overview of complyctl’s features, emphasizing its role in automating compliance checks, ensuring accuracy with OSCAL, and its extensibility through plugins like the OpenSCAP plugin. After the context, I would also like to share a practical, step-by-step tutorial to guide users through installation and the compliance workflow (list, plan, generate, scan), demonstrating how to efficiently maintain a robust security posture on Fedora systems.
I already have a draft and would be happy to send it to review.
