**Insist that MyVnetName exists.**

describe azure_virtual_networks(resource_group: 'MyResourceGroup').where(name: 'MyVnetName') do
  it { should exist }
end

**Insist that you have at least one virtual network that starts with 'prefix'.**

describe azure_virtual_networks(resource_group: 'MyResourceGroup').where { name.include?('project_A') } do
  it { should exist }
end

Filters the Networks at Azure API to Only Those that Match the Given Name via Generic Resource (Recommended).

**Fuzzy string matching.**

describe azure_generic_resources(resource_group: 'MyResourceGroup', resource_provider: 'Microsoft.Network/virtualNetworks', substring_of_name: 'project_A') do
  it { should exist }
end

**Exact name matching.**

describe azure_generic_resources(resource_group: 'MyResourceGroup', resource_provider: 'Microsoft.Network/virtualNetworks', name: 'MyVnetName') do
  it { should exist }
end
