About the aws_route_table Resource

aws_route_table

Use the aws_route_table InSpec audit resource to test properties of a single Route Table. A route table contains a set of rules, called routes, that are used to determine where network traffic is directed.

Syntax

Ensure that a certain route table exists by name

describe aws_route_table('rtb-123abcde') do it { should exist } end

Resource Parameters

route_table_id

This resource expects a single parameter that uniquely identifes the Route Table. You may pass it as a string, or as the value in a hash:

describe aws_route_table('rtb-123abcde') do it { should exist } end

Same

describe aws_route_table(route_table_id: 'rtb-123abcde') do it { should exist } end

Matchers

exist

Indicates that the Route Table provided was found. Use should_not to test for Route Tables that should not exist.

describe aws_route_table('should-be-there') do
  it { should exist }
end

describe aws_route_table('should-not-be-there') do
  it { should_not exist }
end
