# virtualization
Use the `virtualization` InSpec audit resource to test the virtualization platform on which the system is running.
<br>
## Syntax
An `virtualization` resource block declares the virtualization platform that should be tested:
describe virtualization do
its('system') { should MATCHER 'value' }
end
where
* `('system')` is the name of the system information of the virtualization platform (e.g. docker, lxc, vbox, kvm, etc)
* `MATCHER` is a valid matcher for this resource
* `'value'` is the value to be tested
<br>
## Examples
The following examples show how to use this InSpec audit resource.
### Test for Docker
describe virtualization do
its('system') { should eq 'docker' }
end
### Test for VirtualBox
describe virtualization do
its('system') { should eq 'vbox' }
its('role') { should eq 'guest' }
end
### Detect the virtualization platform
if virtualization.system == 'vbox'
describe package('name') do
it { should be_installed }
end
end
