# aws\_ec2\_instance
|
|
|
|
Use the `aws_ec2_instance` InSpec audit resource to test properties of a single AWS EC2 instance.
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
## Syntax
|
|
|
|
An `aws_ec2_instance` resource block declares the tests for a single AWS EC2 instance by either name or id.
|
|
|
|
describe aws_ec2_instance('i-01a2349e94458a507') do
|
|
it { should exist }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
describe aws_ec2_instance(name: 'my-instance') do
|
|
it { should be_running }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
The following examples show how to use this InSpec audit resource.
|
|
|
|
### Test that an EC2 instance does not exist
|
|
|
|
describe aws_ec2_instance(name: 'dev-server') do
|
|
it { should_not exist }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
### Test that an EC2 instance is running
|
|
|
|
describe aws_ec2_instance(name: 'prod-database') do
|
|
it { should be_running }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
### Test that an EC2 instance is using the correct image ID
|
|
|
|
describe aws_ec2_instance(name: 'my-instance') do
|
|
its('image_id') { should eq 'ami-27a58d5c' }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
### Test that an EC2 instance has the correct tag
|
|
|
|
describe aws_ec2_instance('i-090c29e4f4c165b74') do
|
|
its('tags') { should include(key: 'Contact', value: 'Gilfoyle') }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|

|
|
|

## Matchers
|
|
|
|
This 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\_pending
|
|
|
|
The `be_pending` matcher tests if the described EC2 instance state is `pending`. This indicates that an instance is provisioning. This state should be temporary.
|
|
|
|
it { should be_pending }
|
|
|
|
### be\_running
|
|
|
|
The `be_running` matcher tests if the described EC2 instance state is `running`. This indicates the instance is fully operational from AWS's perspective.
|
|
|
|
it { should be_running }
|
|
|
|
### be\_shutting\_down
|
|
|
|
The `be_shutting_down` matcher tests if the described EC2 instance state is `shutting-down`. This indicates the instance has received a termination command and is in the process of being permanently halted and de-provisioned. This state should be temporary.
|
|
|
|
it { should be_shutting_down }
|
|
|
|
### be\_stopped
|
|
|
|
The `be_stopped` matcher tests if the described EC2 instance state is `stopped`. This indicates that the instance is suspended and may be started again.
|
|
|
|
it { should be_stopped }
|
|
|
|
### be\_stopping
|
|
|
|
The `be_stopping` matcher tests if the described EC2 instance state is `stopping`. This indicates that an AWS stop command has been issued, which will suspend the instance in an OS-unaware manner. This state should be temporary.
|
|
|
|
it { should be_stopping }
|
|
|
|
### be\_terminated
|
|
|
|
The `be_terminated` matcher tests if the described EC2 instance state is `terminated`. This indicates the instance is permanently halted and will be removed from the instance listing in a short period. This state should be temporary.
|
|
|
|
it { should be_terminated }
|
|
|
|
### be\_unknown
|
|
|
|
The `be_unknown` matcher tests if the described EC2 instance state is `unknown`. This indicates an error condition in the AWS management system. This state should be temporary.
|
|
|
|
it { should be_unknown }
|
|
|
|
## AWS Permissions
