An azure_network_interface resource block identifies an AKS Cluster by name and resource_group, or the resource_id.

describe azure_network_interface(resource_group: 'RESOURCE_GROUP', name: 'NETWORKINTERFACENAME') do
  it { should exist }
end
describe azure_network_interface(resource_id: '/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.Network/networkInterfaces/{networkInterfaceName}') do
  it { should exist }
end

Parameters

resource_group
Azure resource group where the targeted resource resides.
name
Name of the AKS cluster to test.
resource_id
The unique resource ID.

Either one of the parameter sets can be provided for a valid query:

  • resource_id

Examples

Test if IP forwarding is enabled

describe azure_network_interface(resource_group: 'RESOURCE_GROUP', name: 'NETWORK_INTERFACE_NAME') do
  its('properties.enableIPForwarding') { should be_true }
end

Test if the primary IP configuration is set to correct private IP address

describe azure_network_interface(resource_group: 'RESOURCE_GROUP', name: 'NETWORK_INTERFACE_NAME') do
  its('private_ip') { should cmp '172.16.2.6' }
end

Matchers

This InSpec audit resource has the following special matchers. For a full list of available matchers, please visit our Universal Matchers page.

be_primary

Tests if a network interface is the primary network interface on a virtual machine.

describe azure_network_interface(resource_group: 'RESOURCE_GROUP', name: 'NETWORK_INTERFACE_NAME') do
  it {should be_primary}
end

have_public_address_ip

Test if a network interface has a public IP address.

describe azure_network_interface(resource_group: 'RESOURCE_GROUP', name: 'NETWORK_INTERFACE_NAME') do
  it { should have_public_address_ip}
end

have_private_address_ip

Test if a network interface has a private IP address.

describe azure_network_interface(resource_group: 'RESOURCE_GROUP', name: 'NETWORK_INTERFACE_NAME') do
  it { should have_private_address_ip}
end

exists

# If we expect 'NETWORK_INTERFACE_NAME' to always exist.

describe azure_network_interface(resource_group: 'RESOURCE_GROUP', name: 'NETWORK_INTERFACE_NAME') do
  it { should exist }
end

not_exists

# If we expect 'NETWORK_INTERFACE_NAME' to never exist.

describe azure_network_interface(resource_group: 'RESOURCE_GROUP', name: 'NETWORK_INTERFACE_NAME') do
  it { should_not exist }
end
