azure_locks Resource

Use the azure_locks InSpec audit resource to test properties and configuration of all management locks for an Azure resource or any level below it.

Azure REST API Version, Endpoint, and HTTP Client Parameters

This resource interacts with API versions supported by the resource provider. The api_version can be defined as a resource parameter. If not provided, this resource uses the latest version. For more information, refer to the azure_generic_resource document.

Unless defined, this resource uses the azure_cloud global endpoint and default values for the HTTP client. For more information, refer to the resource pack README.

Installation

This resource is available in the Chef InSpec Azure resource pack.

See the Chef InSpec documentation on cloud platforms for information on configuring your Azure environment for InSpec and creating an InSpec profile that uses the InSpec Azure resource pack.

Syntax

An azure_locks resource block returns all management locks, either within a Resource Group (if provided), or within an entire Subscription.

describe azure_locks do
  it { should exist }
end

or

describe azure_locks(resource_group: 'my-rg') do
  it { should exist }
end

Also, at resource level test can be done providing the following identifiers: resource_group, resource_name and resource_type or the resource_id.

describe azure_locks(resource_group: 'rg-1', resource_name: 'my-VM', resource_type: 'Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines') do
  it { should exist }
end

or

describe azure_locks(resource_id: '/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroup}/providers/Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines/{vmName}') do
  it { should exist }
end

resource_id

The unique resource ID of the Azure resource on which the management locks are being tested. /subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroup}/providers/Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines/{vmName}.

Check If a Specific Management Lock is Present for a Resource.

describe azure_locks(resource_group: 'rg-1', resource_name: 'my-VM', resource_type: 'Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines') do
  its('names')  { should include 'production_agents' }
end

Filters the Results to Include Only Those Management Locks which Include the Given Name.

describe azure_locks.where{ name.include?('production') } do
  it { should exist }
end

Loop through All Virtual Machines to Test If They have Management Locks Defined on.

azure_virtual_machines.ids.each do |id|
  describe azure_locks(resource_id: id) do
    it { should exist }
  end
end
