How to remove a rule from a security group from AWS CLI

Hi Guys,

I have installed AWS CLI in my Windows system. I created one ingress rule in my security group from CLI. Now I want to remove this from CLI. How can I do that?

Hi@akhtar,

You can remove the ingress rule from your security group using the revoke-security-group-ingress tag. Use the below-given command in your AWS CLI.

$ aws ec2 revoke-security-group-ingress --group-name MySecurityGroup --protocol tcp --port 22 --cidr 203.0.113.0/24

I hope this will help you.

How do you revoke it by the description? If the IP address has changed and the old one not remembered, how can you remove the rule by the description?
