SecurityGroup / Action / authorize_egress

authorize_egress

EC2.SecurityGroup.authorize_egress(**kwargs)

Adds the specified outbound (egress) rules to a security group.

An outbound rule permits instances to send traffic to the specified IPv4 or IPv6 address ranges, the IP address ranges specified by a prefix list, or the instances that are associated with a source security group. For more information, see Security group rules.

You must specify exactly one of the following destinations: 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 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 information about security group quotas, see Amazon VPC quotas in the Amazon VPC User Guide.

Parameters:

• 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.

• 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.

• SourceSecurityGroupName (string) – Not supported. Use IP permissions instead.

• SourceSecurityGroupOwnerId (string) – Not supported. Use IP permissions instead.

• IpProtocol (string) – Not supported. Use IP permissions instead.

• FromPort (integer) – Not supported. Use IP permissions instead.

• ToPort (integer) – Not supported. Use IP permissions instead.

• CidrIp (string) – Not supported. Use IP permissions instead.

• IpPermissions (list) –

  The permissions for the security group rules.

  • (dict) –

    Describes the permissions for a security group rule.

    • IpProtocol (string) –

      The IP protocol name ( tcp, udp, icmp, icmpv6) or number (see Protocol Numbers).

      Use -1 to specify all protocols. When authorizing security group rules, specifying -1 or a protocol number other than tcp, udp, icmp, or icmpv6 allows traffic on all ports, regardless of any port range you specify. For tcp, udp, and icmp, you must specify a port range. For icmpv6, the port range is optional; if you omit the port range, traffic for all types and codes is allowed.

    • 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 ICMP type or -1 (all ICMP types).

    • ToPort (integer) –

      If the protocol is TCP or UDP, this is the end of the port range. If the protocol is ICMP or ICMPv6, this is the ICMP code or -1 (all ICMP codes). If the start port is -1 (all ICMP types), then the end port must be -1 (all ICMP codes).

    • UserIdGroupPairs (list) –

      The security group and Amazon Web Services account ID pairs.

      • (dict) –

        Describes a security group and Amazon Web Services account ID pair.
