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 = 0 32 protocol = "-1" 33 cidr_blocks = ["0.0.0.0/0"] 34 } 35 36 egress { 37 from_port = 0 38 to_port = 0 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` - (Optional) The security group description. Defaults to "Managed by Terraform". Cannot be "". 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. If you select a protocol of 83 "-1", you must specify a "from_port" and "to_port" equal to 0. 84 * `security_groups` - (Optional) List of security group Group Names if using 85 EC2-Classic or the default VPC, or Group IDs if using a non-default VPC. 86 Cannot be used with `cidr_blocks`. 87 * `self` - (Optional) If true, the security group itself will be added as 88 a source to this ingress rule. 89 * `to_port` - (Required) The end range port. 90 91 The `egress` block supports: 92 93 * `cidr_blocks` - (Optional) List of CIDR blocks. Cannot be used with `security_groups`. 94 * `from_port` - (Required) The start port. 95 * `protocol` - (Required) The protocol. If you select a protocol of 96 "-1", you must specify a "from_port" and "to_port" equal to 0. 97 * `security_groups` - (Optional) List of security group Group Names if using 98 EC2-Classic or the default VPC, or Group IDs if using a non-default VPC. 99 Cannot be used with `cidr_blocks`. 100 * `self` - (Optional) If true, the security group itself will be added as 101 a source to this egress rule. 102 * `to_port` - (Required) The end range port. 103 104 ~> **NOTE on Egress rules:** By default, AWS creates an `ALLOW ALL` egress rule when creating a 105 new Security Group inside of a VPC. When creating a new Security 106 Group inside a VPC, **Terraform will remove this default rule**, and require you 107 specifically re-create it if you desire that rule. We feel this leads to fewer 108 surprises in terms of controlling your egress rules. If you desire this rule to 109 be in place, you can use this `egress` block: 110 111 egress { 112 from_port = 0 113 to_port = 0 114 protocol = "-1" 115 cidr_blocks = ["0.0.0.0/0"] 116 } 117 118 ## Attributes Reference 119 120 The following attributes are exported: 121 122 * `id` - The ID of the security group 123 * `vpc_id` - The VPC ID. 124 * `owner_id` - The owner ID. 125 * `name` - The name of the security group 126 * `description` - The description of the security group 127 * `ingress` - The ingress rules. See above for more. 128 * `egress` - The egress rules. See above for more.
