title: About the aws_subnets Resource
|
|
platform: aws

# aws\_subnets
|
|
|
|
Use the `aws_subnets` InSpec audit resource to test properties of some or all subnets.
|
|
|
|
Subnets are networks within a VPC that can have their own block of IP address's and ACL's.
|
|
VPCs span across all availability zones in AWS, while a subnet in a VPC can only span a single availability zone.
|
|
Separating IP addresses allows for protection if there is a failure in one availability zone.

|
## Availability
|
|
|
|
### Installation
|
|
|
|
This resource is distributed along with InSpec itself. You can use it automatically.
|
|
|
|
### Version
|
|
|
|
This resource first became available in v2.0.16 of InSpec.
|
|
|
|
## Syntax
|
|
|
|
An `aws_subnets` resource block uses an optional filter to select a group of subnets and then tests that group.
|
|
|
|
# Test all subnets within a single vpc
|
|
describe aws_subnets.where(vpc_id: 'vpc-12345678') do
|
|
its('subnet_ids') { should include 'subnet-12345678' }
|
|
its('subnet_ids') { should include 'subnet-98765432' }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
The following examples show how to use this InSpec audit resource.
|
|
|
|
As this is the initial release of `aws_subnets`, its limited functionality precludes examples.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Filter Criteria
|
|
|
|
* `vpc_id`, `subnet_id`
|
|
|
|
## Filter Examples
|
|
|
|
### vpc\_id
|
|
|
|
A string identifying the VPC which may or may not contain subnets.
|
|
|
|
# Look for all subnets within a vpc.
|
|
describe aws_subnets.where( vpc_id: 'vpc-12345678') do
|
|
its('subnet_ids') { should include 'subnet-12345678' }
|
|
its('subnet_ids') { should include 'subnet-98765432' }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
### subnet\_id
|
|
|
|
A string identifying a specific subnet.
|
|
|
|
# Examine a specific subnet
|
|
describe aws_subnets.where(subnet_id: 'subnet-12345678') do
|
|
its('cidr_blocks') { should eq ['10.0.1.0/24'] }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
## Properties

|
### exists
|
|
|
|
The control will pass if the filter returns at least one result. Use `should_not` if you expect zero matches.
|
|
|
|
# You dont always have subnets, so you can test if there are any.
|
|
describe aws_subnets
|
|
it { should exist }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
# Test that there are subnets in a vpc
|
|
describe aws_subnets.where(vpc_id: 'vpc-12345678')
|
|
it { should exist }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
