its('id') { should eq(id) }

Id will be in format:

'/subscriptions/<subscription-id>/resourceGroups/<resource-group-name>/providers/Microsoft.Network/virtualNetworks/MyVnetName'

name

The virtual network’s name.

its('name') { should eq('MyVnetName') }

location

The virtual network’s location.

its('location') { should eq('East US') }

type

The virtual network’s resource type.

its('type') { should eq 'Microsoft.Network/virtualNetworks' }

tags

The virtual network’s tags.

its('tags') { should eq({ 'key' => 'value' }) }

subnets

The list of subnet names that are attached to this virtual network.

its('subnets') { should eq ["MySubnetName"] }

address_space

The list of address spaces used by the virtual network.

its('address_space') { should eq ["x.x.x.x/x"] }

dns_servers

The list of DNS servers configured for the virtual network. The virtual network returns these IP addresses when virtual machines makes a DHCP request.

its('dns_servers') { should eq ["x.x.x.x", "x.x.x.x"] }

vnet_peerings

A mapping of names and the virtual network ids of the virtual network peerings.

its('vnet_peerings') { should eq "MyVnetPeeringConnection"=>"PeeringConnectionID"}

enable_ddos_protection

Boolean value showing if Azure DDoS standard protection is enabled on the virtual network.

its('enable_ddos_protection') { should eq true }

enable_vm_protection

Boolean value showing if the virtual network has VM protection enabled.

its('enable_vm_protection') { should eq false }

Other Attributes

There are additional attributes that may be accessed that we have not documented. Please take a look at the Azure documentation. Any attribute in the response may be accessed with the key names separated by dots (.).

The API may not always return keys that do not have any associated data. There may be cases where the deeply nested property may not have the desired attribute along your call chain. If you find yourself writing tests against properties that may be nil, fork this resource pack and add an accessor to the resource. Within that accessor you’ll be able to guard against nil keys. Pull requests are always welcome.

Matchers

This InSpec audit resource has the following special matchers. For a full list of available matchers, please visit our Universal Matchers page.

exists

# If a virtual network is found it will exist
describe azurerm_virtual_network(resource_group: 'MyResourceGroup', name: 'MyVnetName') do
  it { should exist }
end

# virtual networks that aren't found will not exist
describe azurerm_virtual_network(resource_group: 'MyResourceGroup', name: 'DoesNotExist') do
  it { should_not exist }
end
