AWS ruby sdk: how to create a security group with relaxed (permit all) permissions

Question

I have installed the AWS ruby sdk.

gem install aws-sdk

Within irb:

require aws-sdk

Now I want to create a security group with all packets permitted both incoming and outgoing.

How can I do this?

Answer 1

After looking at the documentation, I believe you would need to make three calls to authorize_ingress to accomplish this:

security_group.authorize_ingress(:tcp, 0..65535)
security_group.authorize_ingress(:udp, 0..65535)
security_group.authorize_ingress(:icmp, 0..65535)
