# aws\_elb
|
|
|
|
Use the `aws_elb` InSpec audit resource to test properties of a single AWS Elastic Load Balancer (ELB, also known as a Classic Load Balancer).
|
|
|
|
To audit ELBs in bulk or to search, use `aws_elbs` (plural).
|

|
|
This resource first became available in v2.2.10 of InSpec.
|
|
|
|
## Resource Parameters
|
|
|
|
An `aws_elb` resource block declares the tests for a single AWS ELB by ELB name.
|
|
|
|
describe aws_elb('my-elb') do
|
|
it { should exist }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
describe aws_elb(elb_name: 'my-elb') do
|
|
its('instance_ids.count') { should cmp 2 }
|
|
end
|
|
|

|
The following examples show how to use this InSpec audit resource.

### Test that an ELB does not exist
|
|
|
|
describe aws_elb('bad-elb') do
|
|
it { should_not exist }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
### Test that an ELB has a presence in at least two availability zones
|
|
|
|
describe aws_elb('web') do
|
|
its('availability_zones.count') { should be > 1 }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
<br>
