aws_elasticache_cluster_node resource

[edit on GitHub]

Use the aws_elasticache_cluster_node InSpec audit resource to test the properties of a single AWS ElastiCache cluster node.

Syntax

An aws_elasticache_cluster_node resource block declares the tests for a single AWS ElastiCache cluster node by cache_cluster_id and node_id.

describe aws_elasticache_cluster_node(cache_cluster_id: 'my-cluster-123', node_id: '0001') do
  it { should exist }
end

Parameters

The ElastiCache cluster ID and node ID must be provided.

cache_cluster_id (required)

The ID of the ElastiCache cluster:

contains between 1 and 50 alphanumeric characters or hyphens,
should start with a letter,
cannot end with a hyphen or contain two consecutive hyphens.

It can be passed either as a string or as a cache_cluster_id: 'value' key-value entry in a hash.

node_id (required)

The ID of the node must be a string containing 4 digits. It can be passed as a node_id: 'value' key-value entry in a hash.

Properties

Property	Description
id	The cache node identifier, e.g. `0001`.
port	The port number that the cache engine is listening on.
address	The DNS hostname of the cache node.
status	The current state of the cache node. One of the following values: `available`, `creating`, `rebooting`, or `deleting`.
create_time	The date and time when the cache node was created.

There are also additional properties available. For a comprehensive list, see the API reference documentation.

Examples

Test that an ElastiCache cluster node is available

describe aws_elasticache_cluster_node(cache_cluster_id: "my-cluster-123", node_id: "0001") do
    its("status") { should eq 'available' }
end

Test that an Elasticache cluster engine is listening on port `11211`

describe aws_elasticache_cluster_node(cache_cluster_id: "my-cluster-123", node_id: "0001") do
    its("port") { should cmp 11211 }
end

Test that an Elasticache cluster node’s customer availability zone is `us-east-2b`

describe aws_elasticache_cluster_node(cache_cluster_id: "my-cluster-123", node_id: "0001") do
    its("customer_availability_zone") { should cmp "us-east-2b" }
end
