authorize_security_group_ingress#

EC2.Client.authorize_security_group_ingress(**kwargs)#

Adds the specified inbound (ingress) rules to a security group.

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

You specify a protocol for each rule (for example, TCP). For TCP and UDP, you must also specify the destination port or port range. For ICMP/ICMPv6, you must also specify the ICMP/ICMPv6 type and code. You can use -1 to mean all types or all codes.

Rule changes are propagated to instances within the security group as quickly as possible. However, a small delay might occur.

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

    The type of resource to tag on creation.
  - Tags (list) –
    
    The tags to apply to the resource.

This example enables inbound traffic on TCP port 22 (SSH). The rule includes a description to help you identify it later.

response = client.authorize_security_group_ingress(
    GroupId='sg-903004f8',
    IpPermissions=[
        {
            'FromPort': 22,

This example enables inbound traffic on TCP port 80 from the specified security group. The group must be in the same VPC or a peer VPC. Incoming traffic is allowed based on the private IP addresses of instances that are associated with the specified security group.

response = client.authorize_security_group_ingress(
    GroupId='sg-111aaa22',
    IpPermissions=[
        {
            'FromPort': 80,
            'IpProtocol': 'tcp',
            'ToPort': 80,
