Syntax

A google_compute_address is used to test a Google Address resource

Beta Resource

This resource has beta fields available. To retrieve these fields, include beta: true in the constructor for the resource

Examples

describe google_compute_address(project: 'chef-gcp-inspec', location: 'europe-west2', name: 'inspec-gcp-global-address') do
  it { should exist }
  its('address') { should eq '10.2.0.3' }
  its('address_type') { should eq 'INTERNAL' }
  its('user_count') { should eq 0 }
end

describe google_compute_address(project: 'chef-gcp-inspec', location: 'europe-west2', name: 'nonexistent') do
  it { should_not exist }
end

Test that a GCP compute address IP exists

describe google_compute_address(project: 'chef-inspec-gcp', location: 'europe-west2', name: 'compute-address') do
  its('address_ip_exists')  { should be true }
end

Test that a GCP compute address is in a particular status

describe google_compute_address(project: 'chef-inspec-gcp', location: 'europe-west2', name: 'compute-address') do
  its('status') { should eq "IN_USE" }
end

Test that a GCP compute address IP has the expected number of users

describe google_compute_address(project: 'chef-inspec-gcp', location: 'europe-west2', name: 'compute-address') do
  its('user_count') { should eq 1 }
end

Test that the first user of a GCP compute address has the expected resource name

describe google_compute_address(project: 'chef-inspec-gcp', location: 'europe-west2', name: 'compute-address') do
  its('user_resource_name') { should eq "gcp_ext_vm_name" }
end

Properties

Properties that can be accessed from the google_compute_address resource:

address

The static external IP address represented by this resource. Only IPv4 is supported. An address may only be specified for INTERNAL address types. The IP address must be inside the specified subnetwork, if any.

address_type

The type of address to reserve.

Possible values:

• INTERNAL
• EXTERNAL

creation_timestamp

Creation timestamp in RFC3339 text format.

description

An optional description of this resource.

id

The unique identifier for the resource.

name

Name of the resource. The name must be 1-63 characters long, and comply with RFC1035. Specifically, the name must be 1-63 characters long and match the regular expression [a-z]([-a-z0-9]*[a-z0-9])? which means the first character must be a lowercase letter, and all following characters must be a dash, lowercase letter, or digit, except the last character, which cannot be a dash.

purpose

The purpose of this resource, which can be one of the following values: - GCE_ENDPOINT for addresses that are used by VM instances, alias IP ranges, internal load balancers, and similar resources. This should only be set when using an Internal address.

Possible values:

• GCE_ENDPOINT

network_tier

The networking tier used for configuring this address. If this field is not specified, it is assumed to be PREMIUM.

Possible values:

• PREMIUM
• STANDARD

subnetwork

The URL of the subnetwork in which to reserve the address. If an IP address is specified, it must be within the subnetwork’s IP range. This field can only be used with INTERNAL type with GCE_ENDPOINT/DNS_RESOLVER purposes.

users

The URLs of the resources that are using this address.

labels

(Beta only) Labels to apply to this address. A list of key->value pairs.

label_fingerprint

(Beta only) The fingerprint used for optimistic locking of this resource. Used internally during updates.

status

The status of the address, which can be one of RESERVING, RESERVED, or IN_USE. An address that is RESERVING is currently in the process of being reserved. A RESERVED address is currently reserved and available to use. An IN_USE address is currently being used by another resource and is not available.

Possible values:

• RESERVING
• RESERVED
• IN_USE

region

URL of the region where the regional address resides. This field is not applicable to global addresses.

GCP Permissions

Ensure the Compute Engine API is enabled for the current project.
