Hi Team,

I want to create a security group in AWS so that I can launch an EC2 instance. But I don't know how to create a security group with the Boto3 module. Can anyone help me with this?

Hi@akhtar,

You can create a new security group using the create_security_group() method, and assign it to our VPC. Then you can define inbound rules to only allow SSH port number 22 as shown below.

# Create a security group and allow SSH inbound rule through the VPC
securitygroup = ec2.create_security_group(GroupName='SSH-ONLY', Description='only allow SSH traffic', VpcId=vpc.id)
securitygroup.authorize_ingress(CidrIp='0.0.0.0/0', IpProtocol='tcp', FromPort=22, ToPort=22)
