azure_storage_account_blob_container resource

Use the azure_storage_account_blob_container InSpec audit resource to test the properties related to a Blob Container in an Azure Storage account.

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

resource_group, storage_account_name, and name or the resource_id are required parameters.

describe azure_storage_account_blob_container(resource_group: 'RESOURCE_GROUP', storage_account_name: 'ACCOUNT_NAME', name: 'LOGS')  do
  it { should exist }
end

describe azure_storage_account_blob_container(resource_id: '/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/{accountName}/blobServices/default/containers/{containerName}')  do
  it { should exist }
end

Parameters

resource_group
Azure resource group where the targeted resource resides.
storage_account_name
The name of the storage account within the specified resource group.
name
The name of the blob container within the specified storage account.
blob_container_name
Alias for the name parameter.
resource_id
The unique resource ID.

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

  • resource_id
  • resource_group, storage_account_name and name
  • resource_group, storage_account_name and blob_container_name

Properties

properties.deleted
Indicates whether the Blob Container was deleted.
properties.lastModifiedTime
Returns the date and time the container was last modified.
properties.remainingRetentionDays
Remaining retention days for soft deleted blob container.
properties.publicAccess
Specifies whether data in the container may be accessed publicly and the level of access. See the Azure blob containers PublicAccess documentation for valid values.

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

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

Examples

Test if a Blob Container is deleted:

describe azure_storage_account_blob_container(resource_group: 'RESOURCE_GROUP', storage_account_name: 'DEFAULT', name: 'LOGS') do
  its('properties.deleted') { should be true }
end

Ensure that the Blob Container is private:

describe azure_storage_account_blob_container(resource_group: 'RESOURCE_GROUP', storage_account_name: 'PRODUCTION', name: 'LOGS') do
  its('properties') { should have_attributes(publicAccess: 'None') }
end

Loop through resources via ‘resource_id’:

azure_storage_account_blob_containers.(resource_group: 'RESOURCE_GROUP', storage_account_name: 'PRODUCTION').ids.each do |id|
  describe azure_storage_account_blob_container(resource_id: id) do
    its('properties') { should have_attributes(publicAccess: 'None') }
  end
end

  it { should exist }
end

not_exists

# If we expect the resource to never exist.
