aws_network_acls resource

Use the aws_network_acls InSpec audit resource to test the properties of all Amazon network ACLs. To audit a single network ACL, use the aws_network_acl (singular) resource.

Syntax

An aws_network_acls resource block collects a group of network ACL descriptions and then tests that group.

describe aws_network_acls
  it { should exist }
end

Parameters

This resource does not require any parameters.

Examples

Ensure that exactly three network ACLs exist:

describe aws_network_acls do
  its('count') { should eq 3 }
end

Filter all network ACLs whose entries have rule number equal to 100:

describe aws_network_acls.where { entries_rule_numbers.include?(100) } do
    it { should exist }
end

Filter all default network ACLs:

describe aws_network_acls.where(default: true) do
    it { should exist }
end

Filter all network ACLs with associated subnet IDs matching subnet-07a323891825bc312:

describe aws_network_acls.where { associated_subnet_ids.include?('subnet-07a323891825bc312') } do
    it { should exist }
end

Filter all network ACLs with entries CIDR blocks matching 10.3.0.0/18:

describe aws_network_acls.where { entries_cidr_blocks.include?('10.3.0.0/18') } do
    it { should exist }
end

Request the IDs of all network ACLs, then test in-depth using aws_network_acl:

aws_network_acls.network_acl_ids.each do |network_acl_id|
  describe aws_network_acl(network_acl_id) do
    it { should be_default }
  end
end

Request the IDs of all network ACLs for rule number 100, then test in-depth using aws_network_acl:

aws_network_acls.where{ ingress_rule_numbers.include?(100) }.network_acl_ids.each do |network_acl_id|
  describe aws_network_acl(network_acl_id) do
    its('egress_rule_number_100.cidr_block') { should eq '10.3.0.0/18' }
    its('egress_rule_number_100.protocol') { should eq '6' }
    its('egress_rule_number_100.rule_action') { should eq 'allow' }
  end
end

Matchers

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

This resource has the following special matchers.

exist

The control will pass if the ‘describe’ method returns at least one result.

describe aws_network_acls.where( <property>: <value>) do
  it { should exist }
end

Use should_not to test an entity that should not exist.

describe aws_network_acls.where( <property>: <value>) do
  it { should_not exist }
end

AWS Permissions

Your AWS principal will need the EC2:Client:DescribeNetworkAclsResult action with Effect set to Allow.
