Problem

I am missing a package in my CIS HI. It was in a previous version of a image, but is now missing

Solution

CIS Hardened Images are built off the base image available in the given Cloud Service Provider(CSP), updated to align with the most recent patches, updates, kernel version, etc. and then hardened in accordance with the corresponding CIS Benchmark.

Unless packages or installations donā€™t align with the CIS Benchmark recommendations, CIS does not remove or add in any additional packages, tools, etc. As base images, kernel versions, etc. change constantly and are outside of CISā€™s control and maintained by the vendor and the CSP, there can be variability between versions we release related to tooling and packages and are not a result of CIS hardening.

If there is a package or tool not present, it would be the end users responsibility to add it.
