# aws\_vpc
Use the `aws_vpc` InSpec audit resource to test properties of a single AWS Virtual Private Cloud (VPC).
To test properties of all or multiple VPCs, use the `aws_vpcs` resource.
A VPC is a networking construct that provides an isolated environment. A VPC is contained in a geographic region, but spans availability zones in that region. A VPC may have multiple subnets, internet gateways, and other networking resources. Computing resources--such as EC2 instances--reside on subnets within the VPC.
Each VPC is uniquely identified by its VPC ID. In addition, each VPC has a non-unique CIDR IP Address range (such as 10.0.0.0/16) which it manages.
Every AWS account has at least one VPC, the "default" VPC, in every region.

## 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_vpc` resource block identifies a VPC by id. If no VPC ID is provided, the default VPC is used.
# Find the default VPC
describe aws_vpc do
it { should exist }
end
# Find a VPC by ID
describe aws_vpc('vpc-12345678987654321') do
it { should exist }
end
# Hash syntax for ID
describe aws_vpc(vpc_id: 'vpc-12345678') do
it { should exist }
end
<br>
## Examples
The following examples show how to use this InSpec audit resource.
### Test that a VPC does not exist
describe aws_vpc('vpc-87654321') do
it { should_not exist }
end
describe aws_vpc('vpc-abcd123454321dcba') do
it { should_not exist }
end
### Test the CIDR of a named VPC
describe aws_vpc('vpc-87654321') do
its('cidr_block') { should cmp '10.0.0.0/16' }
end
<br>
## Properties
* `cidr_block`, `dhcp_options_id`, `state`, `vpc_id`, `instance_tenancy`
<br>
## Property Examples
### cidr\_block
The IPv4 address range that is managed by the VPC.
describe aws_vpc('vpc-87654321') do
its('cidr_block') { should cmp '10.0.0.0/16' }
end
### dhcp\_options\_id
The ID of the set of DHCP options associated with the VPC (or `default` if the default options are associated with the VPC).
describe aws_vpc do
its ('dhcp_options_id') { should eq 'dopt-a94671d0' }
end
### instance\_tenancy
The allowed tenancy of instances launched into the VPC.
describe aws_vpc do
its ('instance_tenancy') { should eq 'default' }
end
### state
The state of the VPC (`pending` | `available`).
describe aws_vpc do
its ('state') { should eq 'available' }
end
### vpc\_id
The ID of the VPC.
describe aws_vpc do
its('vpc_id') { should eq 'vpc-87654321' }
end
<br>
## 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\_default
The test will pass if the identified VPC is the default VPC for the region.
describe aws_vpc('vpc-87654321') do
it { should be_default }
end
## AWS Permissions
Your [Principal](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/intro-structure.html#intro-structure-principal) will need the `ec2:DescribeVpcs` action with Effect set to Allow.
You can find detailed documentation at [Actions, Resources, and Condition Keys for Amazon EC2](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/list_amazonec2.html).
