Syntax

An azure_key_vault_key resource block identifies an Azure key by vault_name and key_name, or the key_id. You may also specify a key_version. If no version is specified, the most recent version of the key will be used.

describe azure_key_vault_key(vault_name: 'EXAMPLE_VAULT', key_name: 'EXAMPLE_KEY') do
  it { should exist }
end
describe azure_key_vault_key(vault_name: 'EXAMPLE_VAULT', key_name: 'EXAMPLE_KEY', key_version: '78deebed173b48e48f55abf87ed4cf71') do
  it { should exist }
end
describe azure_key_vault_key(key_id: 'https://example_vault.vault.azure.net/keys/key/7df9bf2c3b4347bab213ebe233f0e350') do
  it { should exist }
end

Parameters

vault_name
The name of the key vault where the targeted key resides.

  • vault_name and name
  • key_id

  its('key.kid') { should cmp 'https://example_vault.vault.azure.net/keys/key/7df9bf2c3b4347bab213ebe233f0e350' }
end
