About the google_compute_zone Resource	gcp

google_compute_zone

Use the google_compute_zone InSpec audit resource to test properties of a single GCP compute zone.

Syntax

A google_compute_zone resource block declares the tests for a single GCP zone by project and name.

describe google_compute_zone(project: 'chef-inspec-gcp',  zone: 'us-east1-b') do
  its('name') { should match 'us-east1-b' }
end

Examples

The following examples show how to use this InSpec audit resource.

Test that a GCP compute zone exists

describe google_compute_zone(project: 'chef-inspec-gcp',  zone: 'us-east1-b') do
  it { should exist }
end

Test that a GCP compute zone is in the expected state

describe google_compute_zone(project: 'chef-inspec-gcp',  zone: 'us-east1-b') do
  its('status') { should eq 'UP' }
  # or equivalently
  it { should be_up }
end

Test that a GCP compute zone has an expected CPU platform

describe google_compute_zone(project: 'chef-inspec-gcp',  zone: 'us-east1-b') do
  its('available_cpu_platforms') { should include "Intel Skylake" }
end

Properties

• available_cpu_platforms, creation_timestamp, description, id, kind, name, region, status, region_name

GCP Permissions

Ensure the Compute Engine API is enabled for the project where the resource is located.
