azurerm_key_vault resource

[edit on GitHub]

Use the azurerm_key_vault InSpec audit resource to test properties and configuration of an Azure Key Vault.

Azure REST API version

This resource interacts with version 2016-10-01 of the Azure Management API. For more information see the Official Azure Documentation.

At the moment, there doesn’t appear to be a way to select the version of the Azure API docs. If you notice a newer version being referenced in the official documentation please open an issue or submit a pull request using the updated version.

    git: https://github.com/inspec/inspec-azure.git

You’ll also need to setup your Azure credentials; see the resource pack README.

Version

This resource first became available in 1.2.0 of the inspec-azure resource pack.

Syntax

The resource_group and vault_name must be given as a parameter.

  it            { should exist }
  its('name')   { should eq('vault-101') }
end

Examples

  it { should exist }
end

If a Key Vault is referenced with an invalid Resource Group or Vault Name

describe azurerm_key_vault(resource_group: 'invalid-rg', vault_name: 'vault-null') do
  it { should_not exist }
end

Parameters

  • resource_group - The resource Group to which the Key Vault belongs.
  • vault_name - The unique name of the Key Vault.

Attributes

  • id
  • name
  • location
  • type
  • tags

Azure resource ID.

Key Vault name, e.g. vault-101.

The type of Resource, typically Microsoft.KeyVault/vaults.

tags

Resource tags applied to the Key Vault.

Other Attributes

There are additional attributes that may be accessed that we have not documented. Please take a look at the Azure documentation. Any attribute in the response may be accessed with the key names separated by dots (.).

The API may not always return keys that do not have any associated data. There may be cases where the deeply nested property may not have the desired attribute along your call chain. If you find yourself writing tests against properties that may be nil, fork this resource pack and add an accessor to the resource. Within that accessor you’ll be able to guard against nil keys. Pull requests are always welcome.
