+- For questions and bug reports, please include the following information:
+  - version of kube-bench you are running (from kube-bench version) along with the command line options you are using.
+  - version of Kubernetes you are running (from kubectl version or oc version for Openshift).
+  - Verbose log output, by setting the `-v 3` command line option.
+
+### Bugs
+
+If you think you have found a bug please follow the instructions below.
+
+- Open a [new bug](https://github.com/aquasecurity/kube-bench/issues/new?assignees=&labels=&template=bug_report.md) if a duplicate doesn't already exist.

+## Testing locally with kind
+
+Our makefile contains targets to test your current version of kube-bench inside a [Kind](https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/) cluster. This can be very handy if you don't want to run a real Kubernetes cluster for development purposes.
+
+First, you'll need to create the cluster using `make kind-test-cluster` this will create a new cluster if it cannot be found on your machine. By default, the cluster is named `kube-bench` but you can change the name by using the environment variable `KIND_PROFILE`.
+
+*If kind cannot be found on your system the target will try to install it using `go get`*
+
+Next, you'll have to build the kube-bench docker image using `make build-docker`, then we will be able to push the docker image to the cluster using `make kind-push`.
+
+Finally, we can use the `make kind-run` target to run the current version of kube-bench in the cluster and follow the logs of pods created. (Ctrl+C to exit)
+
+Every time you want to test a change, you'll need to rebuild the docker image and push it to cluster before running it again. ( `make build-docker kind-push kind-run` )
+
+To run the STIG tests locally execute the following: `make build-docker kind-push kind-run-stig`

-## CIS Kubernetes Benchmark support
+![Kubernetes Bench for Security](/docs/images/output.png "Kubernetes Bench for Security")
 
-kube-bench supports the tests for multiple versions of Kubernetes (1.6, 1.7 and 1.8) as defined in the CIS Benchmarks 1.0.0, 1.1.0 and 1.2.0 respectively. It will determine the test set to run based on the Kubernetes version running on the machine. 
+## CIS Scanning as part of Trivy and the Trivy Operator
 
-## Installation
+[Trivy](https://github.com/aquasecurity/trivy), the all in one cloud native security scanner, can be deployed as a [Kubernetes Operator](https://github.com/aquasecurity/trivy-operator) inside a cluster.
+Both, the [Trivy CLI](https://github.com/aquasecurity/trivy), and the [Trivy Operator](https://github.com/aquasecurity/trivy-operator) support CIS Kubernetes Benchmark scanning among several other features.
 
-You can choose to 
-* run kube-bench from inside a container (sharing PID namespace with the host)
-* run a container that installs kube-bench on the host, and then run kube-bench directly on the host
-* install the latest binaries from the [Releases page](https://github.com/aquasecurity/kube-bench/releases), 
-* compile it from source.
+## Quick start
 
-### Running inside a container
+There are multiple ways to run kube-bench.
+You can run kube-bench inside a pod, but it will need access to the host's PID namespace in order to check the running processes, as well as access to some directories on the host where config files and other files are stored.
 
-You can avoid installing kube-bench on the host by running it inside a container using the host PID namespace.
+The supplied `job.yaml` [file](job.yaml) can be applied to run the tests as a job. For example:
 
-```
-docker run --pid=host aquasec/kube-bench:latest <master|node>
-```
+```bash
+$ kubectl apply -f job.yaml
+job.batch/kube-bench created
 
-You can even use your own configs by mounting them over the default ones in `/opt/kube-bench/cfg/`
+$ kubectl get pods
+NAME                      READY   STATUS              RESTARTS   AGE
+kube-bench-j76s9   0/1     ContainerCreating   0          3s
 
-```
-docker run --pid=host -v path/to/my-config.yaml:/opt/kube-bench/cfg/config.yaml aquasec/kube-bench:latest <master|node>
-```
+# Wait for a few seconds for the job to complete
+$ kubectl get pods
+NAME                      READY   STATUS      RESTARTS   AGE
+kube-bench-j76s9   0/1     Completed   0          11s
 
-### Running in a kubernetes cluster
-Run the master check
-
-```
-kubectl run --rm -i -t kube-bench-master --image=aquasec/kube-bench:latest --restart=Never --overrides="{ \"apiVersion\": \"v1\", \"spec\": { \"hostPID\": true, \"nodeSelector\": { \"kubernetes.io/role\": \"master\" }, \"tolerations\": [ { \"key\": \"node-role.kubernetes.io/master\", \"operator\": \"Exists\", \"effect\": \"NoSchedule\" } ] } }" -- master --version 1.8
-```
-
-Run the node check
-
-```
-kubectl run --rm -i -t kube-bench-node --image=aquasec/kube-bench:latest --restart=Never --overrides="{ \"apiVersion\": \"v1\", \"spec\": { \"hostPID\": true } }" -- node --version 1.8
-```
-
-### Installing from a container
-
-This command copies the kube-bench binary and configuration files to your host from the Docker container:
-```
-docker run --rm -v `pwd`:/host aquasec/kube-bench:latest install
-```
-
-You can then run `./kube-bench <master|node>`. 
-
-### Installing from sources
-
-If Go is installed on the target machines, you can simply clone this repository and run as follows (assuming your [$GOPATH is set](https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/GOPATH)):
-
-```shell
-go get github.com/aquasecurity/kube-bench
-go get github.com/golang/dep/cmd/dep
-cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/aquasecurity/kube-bench
-$GOPATH/bin/dep ensure -vendor-only
-go build -o kube-bench .
-
-# See all supported options
-./kube-bench --help
-
-# Run the all checks on a master node
-./kube-bench master
-
-```
-
-## Configuration
-Kubernetes config and binary file locations and names can vary from installation to installation, so these are configurable in the `cfg/config.yaml` file. 
-
-For each type of node (*master*, *node* or *federated*) there is a list of components, and for each component there is a set of binaries (*bins*) and config files (*confs*) that kube-bench will look for (in the order they are listed). If your installation uses a different binary name or config file location for a Kubernetes component, you can add it to `cfg/config.yaml`.  
-
-* **bins** - If there is a *bins* list for a component, at least one of these binaries must be running. The tests will consider the parameters for the first binary in the list found to be running. 
-* **podspecs** - From version 1.2.0 of the benchmark (tests for Kubernetes 1.8), the remediation instructions were updated to assume that the configuration for several kubernetes components is defined in a pod YAML file, and podspec settings define where to look for that configuration. 
-* **confs** - If one of the listed config files is found, this will be considered for the test. Tests can continue even if no config file is found. If no file is found at any of the listed locations, and a *defaultconf* location is given for the component, the test will give remediation advice using the *defaultconf* location. 
-* **unitfiles** - From version 1.2.0 of the benchmark  (tests for Kubernetes 1.8), the remediation instructions were updated to assume that kubelet configuration is defined in a service file, and this setting defines where to look for that configuration.
-
-## Test config YAML representation
-The tests are represented as YAML documents (installed by default into ./cfg).
-
-An example is as listed below:
-```
----
-controls:
-id: 1
-text: "Master Checks"
-type: "master"
-groups:
-- id: 1.1
-  text: "Kube-apiserver"
-  checks:
-    - id: 1.1.1
-      text: "Ensure that the --allow-privileged argument is set (Scored)"
-      audit: "ps -ef | grep kube-apiserver | grep -v grep"
-      tests:
-      bin_op: or
-      test_items:
-      - flag: "--allow-privileged"
-        set: true
-      - flag: "--some-other-flag"
-        set: false
-      remediation: "Edit the /etc/kubernetes/config file on the master node and set the KUBE_ALLOW_PRIV parameter to '--allow-privileged=false'"
-      scored: true
-```
-
-Recommendations (called `checks` in this document) can run on Kubernetes Master, Node or Federated API Servers.
-Checks are organized into `groups` which share similar controls (things to check for) and are grouped together in the section of the CIS Kubernetes document.
-These groups are further organized under `controls` which can be of the type `master`, `node` or `federated apiserver` to reflect the various Kubernetes node types.
-
-## Tests
-Tests are the items we actually look for to determine if a check is successful or not. Checks can have multiple tests, which must all be successful for the check to pass.
-
-The syntax for tests:
-```
-tests:
-- flag:
-  set:
-  compare:
-    op:
-    value:
+# The results are held in the pod's logs
+kubectl logs kube-bench-j76s9
+[INFO] 1 Master Node Security Configuration
+[INFO] 1.1 API Server
 ...
 ```
-Tests have various `operations` which are used to compare the output of audit commands for success.
-These operations are:
+For more information and different ways to run kube-bench see [documentation](docs/running.md)
+### Please Note
 
-- `eq`: tests if the flag value is equal to the compared value.
-- `noteq`: tests if the flag value is unequal to the compared value.
-- `gt`: tests if the flag value is greater than the compared value.
-- `gte`: tests if the flag value is greater than or equal to the compared value.
-- `lt`: tests if the flag value is less than the compared value.
-- `lte`: tests if the flag value is less than or equal to the compared value.
-- `has`: tests if the flag value contains the compared value.
-- `nothave`: tests if the flag value does not contain the compared value.
+1. kube-bench implements the [CIS Kubernetes Benchmark](https://www.cisecurity.org/benchmark/kubernetes/) as closely as possible. Please raise issues here if kube-bench is not correctly implementing the test as described in the Benchmark. To report issues in the Benchmark itself (for example, tests that you believe are inappropriate), please join the [CIS community](https://cisecurity.org).
 
-# Roadmap 
-Going forward we plan to release updates to kube-bench to add support for new releases of the Benchmark, which in turn we can anticipate being made for each new Kubernetes release. 
+1. There is not a one-to-one mapping between releases of Kubernetes and releases of the CIS benchmark. See [CIS Kubernetes Benchmark support](docs/platforms.md#cis-kubernetes-benchmark-support) to see which releases of Kubernetes are covered by different releases of the benchmark.
 
-We welcome PRs and issue reports. 
+
+By default, kube-bench will determine the test set to run based on the Kubernetes version running on the machine.
+- see the following documentation on [Running kube-bench](docs/running.md#running-kube-bench) for more details.

+          Azure Active Directory integration
+          The security of AKS clusters can be enhanced with the integration of Azure Active Directory
+          (AD). Built on decades of enterprise identity management, Azure AD is a multi-tenant,
+          cloud-based directory, and identity management service that combines core directory
+          services, application access management, and identity protection. With Azure AD, you can
+          integrate on-premises identities into AKS clusters to provide a single source for account
+          management and security.
+          Azure Active Directory integration with AKS clusters
+          With Azure AD-integrated AKS clusters, you can grant users or groups access to Kubernetes
+          resources within a namespace or across the cluster. To obtain a kubectl configuration
+          context, a user can run the az aks get-credentials command. When a user then interacts
+          with the AKS cluster with kubectl, they're prompted to sign in with their Azure AD
+          credentials. This approach provides a single source for user account management and
+          password credentials. The user can only access the resources as defined by the cluster
+          administrator.
+          Azure AD authentication is provided to AKS clusters with OpenID Connect. OpenID Connect
+          is an identity layer built on top of the OAuth 2.0 protocol. For more information on OpenID
+          Connect, see the Open ID connect documentation. From inside of the Kubernetes cluster,
+          Webhook Token Authentication is used to verify authentication tokens. Webhook token
+          authentication is configured and managed as part of the AKS cluster.

+          Azure Active Directory integration
+          The security of AKS clusters can be enhanced with the integration of Azure Active Directory
+          (AD). Built on decades of enterprise identity management, Azure AD is a multi-tenant,
+          cloud-based directory, and identity management service that combines core directory
+          services, application access management, and identity protection. With Azure AD, you can
+          integrate on-premises identities into AKS clusters to provide a single source for account
+          management and security.
+          Azure Active Directory integration with AKS clusters
+          With Azure AD-integrated AKS clusters, you can grant users or groups access to Kubernetes
+          resources within a namespace or across the cluster. To obtain a kubectl configuration
+          context, a user can run the az aks get-credentials command. When a user then interacts
+          with the AKS cluster with kubectl, they're prompted to sign in with their Azure AD
+          credentials. This approach provides a single source for user account management and
+          password credentials. The user can only access the resources as defined by the cluster
+          administrator.
+          Azure AD authentication is provided to AKS clusters with OpenID Connect. OpenID Connect
+          is an identity layer built on top of the OAuth 2.0 protocol. For more information on OpenID
+          Connect, see the Open ID connect documentation. From inside of the Kubernetes cluster,
+          Webhook Token Authentication is used to verify authentication tokens. Webhook token
+          authentication is configured and managed as part of the AKS cluster.

+          By enabling private endpoint access to the Kubernetes API server, all communication between your nodes and the API server stays within your VPC. You can also limit the IP addresses that can access your API server from the internet, or completely disable internet access to the API server.
+          With this in mind, you can update your cluster accordingly using the AKS CLI to ensure that Private Endpoint Access is enabled.
+          If you choose to also enable Public Endpoint Access then you should also configure a list of allowable CIDR blocks, resulting in restricted access from the internet. If you specify no CIDR blocks, then the public API server endpoint is able to receive and process requests from all IP addresses by defaulting to ['0.0.0.0/0'].
