# Example InSpec Profile For AWS

This example shows the implementation of an InSpec profile for AWS.

##  Create a profile 

```
$ inspec init profile --platform aws my-profile

 ─────────────────────────── InSpec Code Generator ───────────────────────────

Creating new profile at /Users/spaterson/my-profile
 • Creating directory libraries
 • Creating file README.md
 • Creating directory controls
 • Creating file controls/example.rb
 • Creating file inspec.yml
 • Creating file attributes.yml
 • Creating file libraries/.gitkeep
 
```

## Optionally update `attributes.yml` to point to your custom VPC

```
aws_vpc_id: 'custom-vpc-id'
```

The related control will simply be skipped if this is not provided.  See the [InSpec DSL documentation](https://www.inspec.io/docs/reference/dsl_inspec/) for more details on conditional execution using `only_if`.

## Run the tests

### With a VPC Identifier

With a supplied VPC identifier in `attributes.yml` both of the example controls will run.  The 'aws-single-vpc-exists-check' control will only check for a VPC identifier in the currently configured AWS SDK region e.g. `eu-west-2` in the below:

```
$ cd my-profile/
$ inspec exec . -t aws://  --attrs attributes.yml

### Without Supplying a VPC Identifier 

If no VPC identifier is supplied, the 'aws-single-vpc-exists-check' control is skipped and the other control runs.  The `attributes.yml` file does not have to be specified to InSpec in this case.

```
$ cd my-profile/
$ inspec exec . -t aws://
