authorize_egress

authorize_egress(**kwargs)

[VPC only] Adds the specified outbound (egress) rules to a security group for use with a VPC.

An outbound rule permits instances to send traffic to the specified IPv4 or IPv6 CIDR address ranges, or to the instances that are associated with the specified source security groups. When specifying an outbound rule for your security group in a VPC, the IpPermissions must include a destination for the traffic.

You specify a protocol for each rule (for example, TCP). For the TCP and UDP protocols, you must also specify the destination port or port range. For the ICMP protocol, you must also specify the ICMP type and code. You can use -1 for the type or code to mean all types or all codes.

Rule changes are propagated to affected instances as quickly as possible. However, a small delay might occur.

For information about VPC security group quotas, see Amazon VPC quotas.

Parameters
  • DryRun (boolean) -- Checks whether you have the required permissions for the action, without actually making the request, and provides an error response. If you have the required permissions, the error response is DryRunOperation . Otherwise, it is UnauthorizedOperation .
  • IpPermissions (list) --

    The sets of IP permissions. You can't specify a destination security group and a CIDR IP address range in the same set of permissions.

    • (dict) --

      Describes a set of permissions for a security group rule.

      • FromPort (integer) --

        If the protocol is TCP or UDP, this is the start of the port range. If the protocol is ICMP or ICMPv6, this is the type number. A value of -1 indicates all ICMP/ICMPv6 types. If you specify all ICMP/ICMPv6 types, you must specify all ICMP/ICMPv6 codes.

      Note

      The Valid Values lists all the resource types that can be tagged. However, the action you're using might not support tagging all of these resource types. If you try to tag a resource type that is unsupported for the action you're using, you'll get an error.

            Constraints: Tag values are case-sensitive and accept a maximum of 256 Unicode characters.

  • CidrIp (string) -- Not supported. Use a set of IP permissions to specify the CIDR.
  • FromPort (integer) -- Not supported. Use a set of IP permissions to specify the port.
  • IpProtocol (string) -- Not supported. Use a set of IP permissions to specify the protocol name or number.
