# virtualization
|
|
|
|
Use the `virtualization` Chef InSpec audit resource to test the virtualization platform on which the system is running.
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
## Availability
|
|
|
|
### Installation
|
|
|
|
This resource is distributed along with Chef InSpec itself. You can use it automatically.
|
|
|
|
### Version
|
|
|
|
This resource first became available in v1.28.0 of InSpec.
|
|
|
|
## Syntax
|
|
|
|
An `virtualization` resource block declares the virtualization platform that should be tested:
|
|
|
|
describe virtualization do
|
|
its('system') { should MATCHER 'value' }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
where
|
|
|
|
* `('system')` is the name of the system information of the virtualization platform (e.g. docker, lxc, vbox, kvm, etc)
|
|
* `MATCHER` is a valid matcher for this resource
|
|
* `'value'` is the value to be tested
|
|
|
|
