At this time you cannot use a Security Group with in-line rules 17 in conjunction with any Security Group Rule resources. Doing so will cause 18 a conflict of rule settings and will overwrite rules. 19 20 ## Example Usage 21 22 Basic usage 23 24 ``` 25 resource "aws_security_group" "allow_all" { 26 name = "allow_all" 27 description = "Allow all inbound traffic" 28 29 ingress { 30 from_port = 0 31 to_port = 65535 32 protocol = "-1" 33 cidr_blocks = ["0.0.0.0/0"] 34 } 35 36 egress { 37 from_port = 0 38 to_port = 65535 39 protocol = "-1" 40 cidr_blocks = ["0.0.0.0/0"] 41 } 42 } 43 ``` 44 45 Basic usage with tags: 46 47 ``` 48 resource "aws_security_group" "allow_all" { 49 name = "allow_all" 50 description = "Allow all inbound traffic" 51 52 ingress { 53 from_port = 0 54 to_port = 65535 55 protocol = "tcp" 56 cidr_blocks = ["0.0.0.0/0"] 57 } 58 59 tags { 60 Name = "allow_all" 61 } 62 } 63 ``` 64 65 ## Argument Reference 66 67 The following arguments are supported: 68 69 * `name` - (Required) The name of the security group 70 * `description` - (Required) The security group description. 71 * `ingress` - (Optional) Can be specified multiple times for each 72 ingress rule. Each ingress block supports fields documented below. 73 * `egress` - (Optional, VPC only) Can be specified multiple times for each 74 egress rule. Each egress block supports fields documented below. 75 * `vpc_id` - (Optional) The VPC ID. 76 * `tags` - (Optional) A mapping of tags to assign to the resource. 77 78 The `ingress` block supports: 79 80 * `cidr_blocks` - (Optional) List of CIDR blocks. Cannot be used with `security_groups`. 81 * `from_port` - (Required) The start port. 82 * `protocol` - (Required) The protocol. 83 * `security_groups` - (Optional) List of security group Group Names if using 84 EC2-Classic or the default VPC, or Group IDs if using a non-default VPC. 85 Cannot be used with `cidr_blocks`. 86 * `self` - (Optional) If true, the security group itself will be added as 87 a source to this ingress rule. 88 * `to_port` - (Required) The end range port. 89 90 The `egress` block supports: 91 92 * `cidr_blocks` - (Optional) List of CIDR blocks. Cannot be used with `security_groups`. 93 * `from_port` - (Required) The start port. 94 * `protocol` - (Required) The protocol. 95 * `security_groups` - (Optional) List of security group Group Names if using 96 EC2-Classic or the default VPC, or Group IDs if using a non-default VPC. 97 Cannot be used with `cidr_blocks`. 98 * `self` - (Optional) If true, the security group itself will be added as 99 a source to this egress rule. 100 * `to_port` - (Required) The end range port. 101 102 ~> **NOTE on Egress rules:** By default, AWS creates an `ALLOW ALL` egress rule when creating a 103 new Security Group inside of a VPC. When creating a new Security 104 Group inside a VPC, **Terraform will remove this default rule**, and require you 105 specifically re-create it if you desire that rule. We feel this leads to fewer 106 surprises in terms of controlling your egress rules. If you desire this rule to 107 be in place, you can use this `egress` block: 108 109 egress { 110 from_port = 0 111 to_port = 0 112 protocol = "-1" 113 cidr_block = "0.0.0.0/0" 114 } 115 116 ## Attributes Reference 117 118 The following attributes are exported: 119 120 * `id` - The ID of the security group 121 * `vpc_id` - The VPC ID. 122 * `owner_id` - The owner ID. 123 * `name` - The name of the security group 124 * `description` - The description of the security group 125 * `ingress` - The ingress rules. See above for more. 126 * `egress` - The egress rules. See above for more.
