authorize_ingress#

EC2.SecurityGroup.authorize_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 address range, the IP address ranges that are specified by a prefix list, or the instances that are associated with a destination security group. For more information, see Security group rules.

You must specify exactly one of the following sources: an IPv4 or IPv6 address range, a prefix list, or a security group. You must specify a protocol for each rule (for example, TCP). If the protocol is TCP or UDP, you must also specify a port or port range. If the protocol is ICMP or ICMPv6, you must also specify the ICMP/ICMPv6 type and code.

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

For examples of rules that you can add to security groups for specific access scenarios, see Security group rules for different use cases in the Amazon EC2 User Guide.

For more information about security group quotas, see Amazon VPC quotas in the Amazon VPC User Guide.

To specify multiple rules and descriptions for the rules, use IP permissions instead.
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.
TagSpecifications (list) –
The tags applied to the security group rule.
- (dict) –
  
  The tags to apply to a resource when the resource is being created. When you specify a tag, you must specify the resource type to tag, otherwise the request will fail.
  
  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.
  - ResourceType (string) –
    
    The type of resource to tag on creation.
  - Tags (list) –
    
    The tags to apply to the resource.
    - (dict) –
      
      Describes a tag.
      - Key (string) –
        
        The key of the tag.
        
        Constraints: Tag keys are case-sensitive and accept a maximum of 127 Unicode characters. May not begin with aws:.
      - Value (string) –
        
        The value of the tag.
        
        Constraints: Tag values are case-sensitive and accept a maximum of 256 Unicode characters.
