# aws\_vpc
|
|
|
|
Use the `aws_vpc` Chef InSpec audit resource to test properties of a single AWS Virtual Private Cloud (VPC).
|
|
|
|
To test properties of all or multiple VPCs, use the `aws_vpcs` resource.
|
|
|
|
A VPC is a networking construct that provides an isolated environment. A VPC is contained in a geographic region, but spans availability zones in that region. A VPC may have multiple subnets, internet gateways, and other networking resources. Computing resources--such as EC2 instances--reside on subnets within the VPC.
|
|
|
|
Each VPC is uniquely identified by its VPC ID. In addition, each VPC has a non-unique CIDR IP Address range (such as 10.0.0.0/16) which it manages.
|
|
|
|
Every AWS account has at least one VPC, the "default" VPC, in every region.

## Availability
|
|
|
|
### Installation
|
|
|
|
This resource is distributed along with Chef InSpec itself. You can use it automatically.
|
|
|
|
### Version
|
|
|
|
This resource first became available in v2.0.16 of InSpec.
|
|
|
|
## Syntax
|
|
|
|
An `aws_vpc` resource block identifies a VPC by id. If no VPC ID is provided, the default VPC is used.
|
|
|
|
# Find the default VPC
|
|
describe aws_vpc do
|
|
it { should exist }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
# Find a VPC by ID
|
|
describe aws_vpc('vpc-12345678987654321') do
|
|
it { should exist }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
# Hash syntax for ID
|
|
describe aws_vpc(vpc_id: 'vpc-12345678') do
|
|
it { should exist }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
The following examples show how to use this Chef InSpec audit resource.
|
|
|
|
### Test that a VPC does not exist
|
|
|
|
describe aws_vpc('vpc-87654321') do
|
|
it { should_not exist }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
describe aws_vpc('vpc-abcd123454321dcba') do
|
|
it { should_not exist }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
### Test the CIDR of a named VPC
|
|
|
|
describe aws_vpc('vpc-87654321') do
|
|
its('cidr_block') { should cmp '10.0.0.0/16' }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
## Properties
|
|
|
|
* `cidr_block`, `dhcp_options_id`, `state`, `vpc_id`, `instance_tenancy`

|
## Property Examples
|

|
|
end
|
|
|
|
### dhcp\_options\_id
|
|
|
|
The ID of the set of DHCP options associated with the VPC (or `default` if the default options are associated with the VPC).

|
|
|
describe aws_vpc do
|
|
its ('dhcp_options_id') { should eq 'dopt-a94671d0' }

|
|
### instance\_tenancy
|
|
|

|
|
|
### state

The state of the VPC (`pending` | `available`).
|
|

|
|
end
|
|
|
|
### vpc\_id
|
|
|
|
The ID of the VPC.
|
|
|
|
describe aws_vpc do
|
|
its('vpc_id') { should eq 'vpc-87654321' }

|
## Matchers
|
|
|
|
This Chef InSpec audit resource has the following special matchers. For a full list of available matchers, please visit our [matchers page](https://www.inspec.io/docs/reference/matchers/).
|
|
|
|
### be\_default
|
|
|
|
The test will pass if the identified VPC is the default VPC for the region.
|
|
|
|
describe aws_vpc('vpc-87654321') do
|
|
it { should be_default }
|
|
end
|
|
