The information from the SPN can be specified either in a file `~/.azure/credentials`, a different file or as environment variables.
### Credentials File
The simplest way is to create the file `~/.azure/credentials` with the following format. The profile is configured to look for this file by default do no settings are required.
```
[<SUBSCRIPTION_ID>]
client_id = "<CLIENT_ID>"
client_secret = "<CLIENT_SECRET>"
tenant_id = "<TENANT_ID>"
```
So to run the profile now it is as simple as running:
```bash
inspec exec inspec-azure
```
A different credentials file, with the same format, can be specified as an environment variable `AZURE_CREDS_FILE`:
Note that this file format supports multiple subscription_ids. By default `inspec-azure` will pick the first subscription in the file. However if another subscription should be used then specify it in the environment variable `AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID`.
Since this is an InSpec resource pack, it only defines InSpec resources. It includes example tests only. To easily use the Azure InSpec resources in your tests do the following:
-`azure_vm_datadisks` - Resource to read the data disks for a machine and check that they are of the correct size etc
| Resource Name | Resources | Description |
|---------------|-----------|-------------|
| azure_vm_datadisks | has_disks? | Boolean test to see if a machine has datadisks |
| | count | Returns the number of data disks attached to the machine |
| | where | Filter that allows for different tests to be performed, see examples below |
When data disks are retrieved from a machine they are given as an array. The `where` filter will interogate the array according the criteria it is given. The followin attributes are available in the filter:
-`disk` - Disk number (0 index based)
-`caching` - What sort of caching is enabled on the data disk
-`create_option` - How the disk was created
-`size` - The size of the disk in GB
-`lun` - The LUN number
-`name` - Name of the disk
-`uri` - Full URI to the disk in Blob storage
-`storage_account` - The name of the storage account in which the Blob storage exists
**Note: This does not yet work with Managed Disks**
There a number of example controls that have been added to this resource. They are driven by environment variables to make them easier to run. For example the following would test a machine called `example-01` in the resource group `exmaple-rg`.
