azure_virtual_network resource

Use the azure_virtual_network InSpec audit resource to test the properties related to a virtual network.

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 and virtual network name or the resource_id are required parameters.

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

describe azure_virtual_network(resource_id: '/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroup}/providers/Microsoft.Network/virtualNetworks/{vnName}') do
  it { should exist }
end

Parameters

resource_group

Azure resource group where the targeted resource resides.

name

Name of the virtual network to test.

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

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

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 }.

Also, see the Azure documentation for other available properties. Any property in the response may be accessed with the key names separated by dots (.).

Examples

Ensure that the Virtual Network exists in the east US region:

describe azure_virtual_network(resource_group: 'RESOURCE_GROUP', name: 'VNET_NAME') do
  it               { should exist }
  its('location')  { should eq 'eastus' }
end

Ensure that the Virtual Network’s DNS servers are configured as expected:

describe azure_virtual_network(resource_group: 'RESOURCE_GROUP', name: 'VNET_NAME') do
    its('dns_servers') { should eq ["192.168.0.6"] }
end

Ensure that the Virtual Network’s address space is configured as expected:

describe azure_virtual_network(resource_group: 'RESOURCE_GROUP', name: 'VNET_NAME') do
    its('address_space') { should eq ["192.168.0.0/24"] }
end

Matchers

This resource has the following special matchers.

exists

# If a virtual network is found, it will exist.

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

not_exists

# Virtual networks that are not found, will not exist.

describe azure_virtual_network(resource_group: 'RESOURCE_GROUP', name: 'DOESNOTEXIST') do
  it { should_not exist }
end

Azure permissions

Your Service Principal must be set up with at least a contributor role on the subscription you wish to test.
