AWS::EC2::SecurityGroup Egress - Amazon CloudFormation
Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

AWS::EC2::SecurityGroup Egress

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

An outbound rule permits instances to send traffic to 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 destinations: an IPv4 address range, an 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.

Syntax

To declare this entity in your Amazon CloudFormation template, use the following syntax:

JSON

{ "CidrIp" : String, "CidrIpv6" : String, "Description" : String, "DestinationPrefixListId" : String, "DestinationSecurityGroupId" : String, "FromPort" : Integer, "IpProtocol" : String, "SourceSecurityGroupId" : String, "ToPort" : Integer }

YAML

CidrIp: String CidrIpv6: String Description: String DestinationPrefixListId: String DestinationSecurityGroupId: String FromPort: Integer IpProtocol: String SourceSecurityGroupId: String ToPort: Integer

Properties

CidrIp

The IPv4 address range, in CIDR format.

You must specify exactly one of the following: CidrIp, CidrIpv6, DestinationPrefixListId, or DestinationSecurityGroupId.

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.

Required: No

Type: String

Update requires: No interruption

CidrIpv6

The IPv6 address range, in CIDR format.

You must specify exactly one of the following: CidrIp, CidrIpv6, DestinationPrefixListId, or DestinationSecurityGroupId.

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.

Required: No

Type: String

Update requires: No interruption

Description

A description for the security group rule.

Constraints: Up to 255 characters in length. Allowed characters are a-z, A-Z, 0-9, spaces, and ._-:/()#,@[]+=;{}!$*

Required: No

Type: String

Update requires: No interruption

DestinationPrefixListId

The prefix list IDs for the destination Amazon service. This is the Amazon service that you want to access through a VPC endpoint from instances associated with the security group.

You must specify exactly one of the following: CidrIp, CidrIpv6, DestinationPrefixListId, or DestinationSecurityGroupId.

Required: No

Type: String

Update requires: No interruption

DestinationSecurityGroupId

The ID of the destination VPC security group.

You must specify exactly one of the following: CidrIp, CidrIpv6, DestinationPrefixListId, or DestinationSecurityGroupId.

Required: No

Type: String

Update requires: No interruption

FromPort

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).

Required: No

Type: Integer

Update requires: No interruption

IpProtocol

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.

Required: Yes

Type: String

Update requires: No interruption

SourceSecurityGroupId

Property description not available.

Required: No

Type: String

Update requires: No interruption

ToPort

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).

Required: No

Type: Integer
