Example InSpec Profile For AWS
This example shows the implementation of an InSpec profile for AWS.
Create a profile
$ inspec init profile --platform aws my-profile
─────────────────────────── InSpec Code Generator ───────────────────────────
Creating new profile at /Users/spaterson/my-profile
• Creating directory libraries
• Creating file README.md
• Creating directory controls
• Creating file controls/example.rb
• Creating file inspec.yml
• Creating file inputs.yml
• Creating file libraries/.gitkeep
Optionally update inputs.yml
to point to your custom VPC
aws_vpc_id: 'custom-vpc-id'
The related control will simply be skipped if this is not provided. See the InSpec DSL documentation for more details on conditional execution using only_if
.
Run the tests
With a VPC Identifier
With a supplied VPC identifier in inputs.yml
both of the example controls will run. The 'aws-single-vpc-exists-check' control will only check for a VPC identifier in the currently configured AWS SDK region e.g. eu-west-2
in the below:
$ cd my-profile/
$ inspec exec . -t aws:// --input-file=inputs.yml

Without Supplying a VPC Identifier
If no VPC identifier is supplied, the 'aws-single-vpc-exists-check' control is skipped and the other control runs. The inputs.yml
file does not have to be specified to InSpec in this case.
