aws_vpc_endpoint Resource

Use the aws_vpc_endpoint InSpec audit resource to test properties of a single specific AWS VPC Endpoint.

A VPC Endpoint is uniquely identified by the VPC Endpoint ID (e.g vpce-123456abcdef12345)

For additional information, including details on parameters and properties, see the AWS documentation on VPC Endpoints.

Install

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

For information on configuring your AWS environment for Chef InSpec and creating an InSpec profile that uses the InSpec AWS resource pack, see the Chef InSpec documentation on the AWS cloud platform.

Syntax

Ensure that a VPC Endpoint exists.

# Find a VPC Endpoint by ID
describe aws_vpc_endpoint('vpce-12345678987654321') do
  it { should exist }
end
# Hash syntax for ID
describe aws_vpc_endpoint(vpc_endpoint_id: 'vpce-12345678987654321') do
  it { should exist }
end

Ensure that a VPC Endpoint is available.

describe aws_vpc_endpoint('vpce-12345678987654321') do
  its('state') { should be 'available' }
end
# Alternative using a matcher
describe aws_vpc_endpoint('vpce-12345678987654321') do
  its('state') { should be_available }
end

Confirm that the route table configured to a VPC Endpoint is as expected.

describe aws_vpc_endpoint('vpce-12345678987654321') do
  its('route_table_ids') { should include 'rtb-1234456123456abcde' }
end

Confirm that the type of a VPC Endpoint is as expected.

describe aws_vpc_endpoint('vpce-12345678987654321') do
  its('vpc_endpoint_type') { should be 'Gateway' }
end
# Alternative using a matcher
describe aws_vpc_endpoint('vpce-12345678987654321') do
  its('vpc_endpoint_type') { should be_gateway }
end

The ID of the endpoint.
vpc_endpoint_type
One of “Interface”, “Gateway”.
vpc_id
The ID of the VPC in which the endpoint resides.
state
State of the VPC Endpoint. One of “pendingacceptance”, “pending”, “available”, “deleting”, “deleted”, “rejected”, “failed”, “expired”.

Examples

Ensure a VPC Endpoint is available.

describe aws_vpc_endpoint(vpc_endpoint_id: 'vpce-12345678987654321') do
  its('state') { should eq 'available' }
end

Ensure that the endpoint is of Gateway type.

describe aws_vpc_endpoint(vpc_endpoint_id: 'vpce-12345678987654321') do
    its('vpc_endpoint_type') { should eq 'Gateway' }
end

Check tags .

describe aws_vpc_endpoint do
  its('tags') { should include(:Environment => 'env-name',
                               :Name => 'vpce-name')}
end

Matchers

For a full list of available matchers, see our Universal Matchers page.

The controls will pass if the describe returns at least one result.

exist

Use should_not to test the entity should not exist.

describe aws_vpc_endpoint(vpc_endpoint_id: 'vpce-12345678987654321') do
  it { should exist }
end
describe aws_vpc_endpoint(vpc_endpoint_id: 'vpce-12345678987654321') do
  it { should_not exist }
end

be_available

Checks if the VPC Endpoint is in available state. Use should_not to test the entity should not exist.

describe aws_vpc_endpoint(vpc_endpoint_id: 'vpce-12345678987654321') do
  it { should be_available }
end
describe aws_vpc_endpoint(vpc_endpoint_id: 'vpce-12345678987654321') do
  it { should_not be_available }
end

be_interface

Checks if the VPC Endpoint type is Interface. Use should_not to test the entity should not exist.

describe aws_vpc_endpoint(vpc_endpoint_id: 'vpce-12345678987654321') do
  it { should be_interface }
end
describe aws_vpc_endpoint(vpc_endpoint_id: 'vpce-12345678987654321') do
  it { should_not be_interface }
end

be_gateway

Checks if the VPC Endpoint type is Gateway. Use should_not to test the entity should not exist.

describe aws_vpc_endpoint(vpc_endpoint_id: 'vpce-12345678987654321') do
  it { should be_gateway }
end
describe aws_vpc_endpoint(vpc_endpoint_id: 'vpce-12345678987654321') do
  it { should_not be_gateway }
end
