[VPC only] Removes the specified outbound (egress) rules from a security group for EC2-VPC. This action does not apply to security groups for use in EC2-Classic.

You can specify rules using either rule IDs or security group rule properties. If you use rule properties, the values that you specify (for example, ports) must match the existing rule's values exactly. Each rule has a protocol, from and to ports, and destination (CIDR range, security group, or prefix list). For the TCP and UDP protocols, you must also specify the destination port or range of ports. For the ICMP protocol, you must also specify the ICMP type and code. If the security group rule has a description, you do not need to specify the description to revoke the rule.

[Default VPC] If the values you specify do not match the existing rule's values, no error is returned, and the output describes the security group rules that were not revoked.

Amazon Web Services recommends that you describe the security group to verify that the rules were removed.

Rule changes are propagated to instances within the security group as quickly as possible. However, a small delay might occur.

get/#Action=RevokeSecurityGroupEgress

Query parameters

DryRunboolean

Checks whether you have the required permissions for the action, without actually making the request, and provides an error response. If you have the required permissions, the error response is <code>DryRunOperation</code>. Otherwise, it is <code>UnauthorizedOperation</code>.

GroupIdstring required

The ID of the security group.

FromPortinteger

If the protocol is TCP or UDP, this is the start of the port range. If the protocol is ICMP or ICMPv6, this is the type number. A value of -1 indicates all ICMP/ICMPv6 types. If you specify all ICMP/ICMPv6 types, you must specify all ICMP/ICMPv6 codes.

IpProtocolstring
<p>The IP protocol name (<code>tcp</code>, <code>udp</code>, <code>icmp</code>, <code>icmpv6</code>) or number (see <a href="http://www.iana.org/assignments/protocol-numbers/protocol-numbers.xhtml">Protocol Numbers</a>).</p> <p>[VPC only] Use <code>-1</code> to specify all protocols. When authorizing security group rules, specifying <code>-1</code> or a protocol number other than <code>tcp</code>, <code>udp</code>, <code>icmp</code>, or <code>icmpv6</code> allows traffic on all ports, regardless of any port range you specify. For <code>tcp</code>, <code>udp</code>, and <code>icmp</code>, you must specify a port range. For <code>icmpv6</code>, the port range is optional; if you omit the port range, traffic for all types and codes is allowed.</p>
ToPortinteger

If the protocol is TCP or UDP, this is the end of the port range. If the protocol is ICMP or ICMPv6, this is the code. A value of -1 indicates all ICMP/ICMPv6 codes. If you specify all ICMP/ICMPv6 types, you must specify all ICMP/ICMPv6 codes.

The sets of IP permissions. You can't specify a destination security group and a CIDR IP address range in the same set of permissions.

SecurityGroupRuleIdstring[]

The IDs of the security group rules.

CidrIpstring

Not supported. Use a set of IP permissions to specify the CIDR.

FromPortinteger

Not supported. Use a set of IP permissions to specify the port.

IpProtocolstring

Not supported. Use a set of IP permissions to specify the protocol name or number.

ToPortinteger

Not supported. Use a set of IP permissions to specify the port.

SourceSecurityGroupNamestring

Not supported. Use a set of IP permissions to specify a destination security group.

SourceSecurityGroupOwnerIdstring

Not supported. Use a set of IP permissions to specify a destination security group.
