Create Security Group Rules by Group
Create Security Group Rules by Group
Table of Contents
Add a security group rule to an existing security group, allowing port 80 browsing for servers belonging to the security group specified (which is the group itself in our example).
Note: You cannot specify multiple port ranges in one API call. That is, had the example below specified a start/end port of 80, 22, and lastly 443, the security group rule would have been created, but only for port 443. Essentially, the last port range specified wins out. This applies when adding by source_type=group or source_type=cidr_ips.
