We did the hard work of creating all the rules, rules groups, and templates to reach up to this: checking the compliance of the infrastructure. Now, we are ready to check how compliant we are against our internal standards, or we can directly use the standard compliance packs we downloaded and imported in the first recipe.
As we have only created test rules, we will use a standard template we imported in the first recipe.
All the heavy lifting should have been done on the VCM server; for instance, it should be ready with the templates and at least one machine group that will have the machines for which we need to check compliance, or we can use the default machine groups available. The preferred alternative is our own machine group.
