class Connections

Language	Type name
.NET	Amazon.CDK.AWS.EC2.Connections
Java	software.amazon.awscdk.services.ec2.Connections
Python	aws_cdk.aws_ec2.Connections
TypeScript (source)	@aws-cdk/aws-ec2 » Connections

Implements IConnectable

Manage the allowed network connections for constructs with Security Groups.

Security Groups can be thought of as a firewall for network-connected devices. This class makes it easy to allow network connections to and from security groups, and between security groups individually. When establishing connectivity between security groups, it will automatically add rules in both security groups

This object can manage one or more security groups.

Example

// The code below shows an example of how to instantiate this type.
// The values are placeholders you should change.
import * as ec2 from '@aws-cdk/aws-ec2';

declare const peer: ec2.IPeer;
declare const port: ec2.Port;
declare const securityGroup: ec2.SecurityGroup;
const connections = new ec2.Connections(/* all optional props */ {
  defaultPort: port,
  peer: peer,
  securityGroups: [securityGroup],
});

addSecurityGroup(...securityGroups)

public addSecurityGroup(...securityGroups: ISecurityGroup[]): void

Parameters

• securityGroups ISecurityGroup

Add a security group to the list of security groups managed by this object.

Parameters

• description string

Allow default connections from all IPv4 ranges.

---

allowDefaultPortInternally(description?)

public allowDefaultPortInternally(description?: string): void

Parameters

• description string

Allow hosts inside the security group to connect to each other.

---

allowDefaultPortTo(other, description?)

public allowDefaultPortTo(other: IConnectable, description?: string): void

Parameters

• other IConnectable
• description string

Allow connections from the peer on our default port.

Even if the peer has a default port, we will always use our default port.

---

allowFromAnyIpv4(portRange, description?)

public allowFromAnyIpv4(portRange: Port, description?: string): void

Parameters
