An aws_eips resource block uses an optional filter to select a group of Elastic IPs and then test that group.

This resource does not require any parameters.

public_ip: The Elastic IP address, or the carrier IP address.
instance_id: The ID of the instance the address is associated with, if any.
allocation_id: The allocation ID for the address.

Match count of Elastic IP(EIP).

describe aws_ec2_eips do
    its('count') { should eq 5 }
end

Check Allocation ID whether it is correct or not.

describe aws_ec2_eips do
   its('allocation_ids') { should include "eipassoc-0ew2bc8cde18191da" }
end
