azure_public_ip resource

Use the azure_public_ip InSpec audit resource to test the properties of an Azure Public IP address.

Azure REST API version, endpoint, and HTTP client parameters

This resource interacts with API versions supported by the resource provider. You can specify the api_version as a resource parameter to use a specific version of the Azure REST API. If you don’t specify an API version, this resource uses the latest version available. For more information about API versioning, see the azure_generic_resource.

By default, this resource uses the azure_cloud global endpoint and default HTTP client settings. You can override these settings if you need to connect to a different Azure environment (such as Azure Government or Azure China). For more information about configuration options, see the resource pack README.

Syntax

An azure_public_ip resource block identifies a public IP address by name and resource_group, or the resource_id.

describe azure_public_ip(resource_group: 'RESOURCE_GROUP', name: 'ADDRESS_NAME') do
  it { should exist }
end

describe azure_public_ip(resource_id: '/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.Network/publicIPAddresses/{publicIpAddressName}') do
  it { should exist }
end

Parameters

resource_group
Azure resource group where the targeted resource resides.
name
The unique name of the public IP address.
resource_id
The unique resource ID.

Either one of the parameter sets can be provided for a valid query:

  • resource_id
  • resource_group and name

Properties

properties.ipAddress
The IP address associated with the public IP address resource.

For properties applicable to all resources, such as type, name, id, and properties, refer to azure_generic_resource.

Also, see the Azure documentation for other available properties. You can access any attribute in the response with the key names separated by dots (.).

Examples

Test the IP Address of a Public IP Resource:

describe azure_public_ip(resource_group: 'RESOURCE_GROUP', name: 'ADDRESS_NAME') do
  its('properties.ipAddress') { should cmp '51.224.11.75' }
end

describe azure_public_ip(resource_id: '/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.Network/publicIPAddresses/{publicIpAddressName}') do
  its('properties.ipAddress') { should cmp '51.224.11.75' }
end

See integration tests for more examples.
