azure_sql_databases resource

Use the azure_sql_databases InSpec audit resource to test the properties and configuration of Azure SQL Databases.

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.

Examples

Check resources are present:

describe azure_sql_databases(resource_group: 'RESOURCE_GROUP', server_name: 'SERVER_NAME') do
    it { should exist }
    its('names') { should include 'my-db' }
end

Filter the results to include only those with names that match the specified string value:

describe azure_sql_databases.(resource_group: 'RESOURCE_GROUP', server_name: 'SERVER_NAME').where{ name.eql?('production-db') } do
  it { should exist }
end

Filter the results to include only those with ‘GRS’ storage account type:

describe azure_sql_databases.(resource_group: 'RESOURCE_GROUP', server_name: 'SERVER_NAME').where{ properties[:storageAccountType] == 'GRS' } do
  it { should exist }
end

This resource has the following special matchers.

exists

The control passes if the filter returns at least one result. Use should_not if you expect zero matches.

# If we expect resources to exist.

describe azure_sql_databases(resource_group: 'RESOURCE_GROUP', server_name: 'SERVER_NAME') do
  it { should exist }
end

not_exists

# If we expect resources not to exist.

describe azure_sql_databases(resource_group: 'RESOURCE_GROUP', server_name: 'SERVER_NAME') do
  it { should_not exist }
end
