Deleting an AMS Security Group with the Console (review required)

Screenshot of this change type in the AMS console:

How it works:

1. Navigate to the Create RFC page: In the left navigation pane of the AMS console click RFCs to open the RFCs list page, and then click Create RFC.

2. Choose a popular change type (CT) in the default Browse change types view, or select a CT in the Choose by category view.

   • Browse by change type: You can click on a popular CT in the Quick create area to immediately open the Run RFC page. Note that you cannot choose an older CT version with quick create.

     To sort CTs, use the All change types area in either the Card or Table view. In either view, select a CT and then click Create RFC to open the Run RFC page. If applicable, a Create with older version option appears next to the Create RFC button.

   • Choose by category: Select a category, subcategory, item, and operation and the CT details box opens with an option to Create with older version if applicable. Click Create RFC to open the Run RFC page.

3. On the Run RFC page, open the CT name area to see the CT details box. A Subject is required (this is filled in for you if you choose your CT in the Browse change types view). Open the Additional configuration area to add information about the RFC.

   In the Execution configuration area, use available drop-down lists or enter values for the required parameters. To configure optional execution parameters, open the Additional configuration area.

4. When finished, click Run. If there are no errors, the RFC successfully created page displays with the submitted RFC details, and the initial Run output.

5. Open the Run parameters area to see the configurations you submitted. Refresh the page to update the RFC execution status. Optionally, cancel the RFC or create a copy of it with the options at the top of the page.

Deleting an AMS Security Group with the CLI (review required)

How it works:

1. Use either the Inline Create (you issue a create-rfc command with all RFC and execution parameters included), or Template Create (you create two JSON files, one for the RFC parameters and one for the execution parameters) and issue the create-rfc command with the two files as input. Both methods are described here.

2. Submit the RFC: aws amscm submit-rfc --rfc-id ID command with the returned RFC ID.

   Monitor the RFC: aws amscm get-rfc --rfc-id ID command.

To check the change type version, use this command:

aws amscm list-change-type-version-summaries --filter Attribute=ChangeTypeId,Value=CT_ID

Note

You can use any CreateRfc parameters with any RFC whether or not they are part of the schema for the change type. For example, to get notifications when the RFC status changes, add this line, --notification "{\"Email\": {\"EmailRecipients\" : [\"[e-mail]\"]}}" to the RFC parameters part of the request (not the execution parameters). For a list of all CreateRfc parameters, see the AMS Change Management API Reference.

INLINE CREATE:

• Issue the create RFC command with execution parameters provided inline (escape quotation marks when providing execution parameters inline) , and then submit the returned RFC ID. For example, you can replace the contents with something like this:

  To remove associated resources, you can issue a command similar to this that uses the Delete Security Group CT (note that SecurityGroupID and DeleteSecurityGroup are required parameters):

  aws --profile saml amscm create-rfc --change-type-id "ct-3cp96z7r065e4" --change-type-version "1.0" --title "Remove-SG-Resources" --execution-parameters "{\"SecurityGroupId\":\"SG_ID\", \"DeleteSecurityGroup\":\false, \"DisassociatedResources\":\"IDS_OF_RESOURCES\"}"

  (Optional) To delete the security group, you can issue a command similar to this that uses the Delete Security Group CT (note that SecurityGroupID and DeleteSecurityGroup are required parameters):

  aws --profile saml amscm create-rfc --change-type-id "ct-3cp96z7r065e4" --change-type-version "1.0" --title "Remove-SG" --execution-parameters "{\"SecurityGroupId\":\"SG_ID\", \"DeleteSecurityGroup\":\true, \"DisassociatedResources\":\"IDS_OF_RESOURCES\"}"

  A security group cannot be deleted until all of the associated resources have been removed; use the DisassociatedResources parameter in the Delete Security group CT to disassociate all of the associated resources. If all resources have been disassociated, use this \"DisassociatedResources\":\"[]\".

TEMPLATE CREATE:

1. Output the execution parameters JSON schema for this change type to a file; this example names it DeleteSGParams.json.

   aws amscm get-change-type-version --change-type-id "ct-3cp96z7r065e4" --query "ChangeTypeVersion.ExecutionInputSchema" --output text > DeleteSGParams.json

2. Modify and save the DeleteSGParams file. For example, you can replace the contents with something like this:

   {
     "SecurityGroupId": "sg-1234abcd",
     "DisassociatedResources": [
       "i-1234abcd",
       "i-234abcd1",
       "i-567890abcdefg1234"
     ],
     "DeleteSecurityGroup": true
   }

3. Output the RFC template JSON file to a file named DeleteSGRfc.json:

   aws amscm create-rfc --generate-cli-skeleton > DeleteSGRfc.json

4. Modify and save the DeleteSGRfc.json file. For example, you can replace the contents with something like this:

   {
   "ChangeTypeVersion":    "1.0",
   "ChangeTypeId":         "ct-3cp96z7r065e4",
   "Title":                "SG-Delete-RFC"
   }

5. Create the RFC, specifying the DeleteSG Rfc file and the eleteSGParams file:

   aws amscm create-rfc --cli-input-json file://DeleteSGRfc.json  --execution-parameters file://DeleteSGParams.json

   You receive the ID of the new RFC in the response and can use it to submit and monitor the RFC. Until you submit it, the RFC remains in the editing state and does not start.

6. (Optional) To add inbound or outbound rules, you can issue a command similar to this that uses the Update Security Group CT:

   aws --profile saml amscm create-rfc --change-type-id "ct-3memthlcmvc1b" --change-type-version "1.0" --title "Add-SG-Rules" --execution-parameters "{\"SecurityGroupId\":\"SG_ID\", \"AddInboundRules\":{\"Protocol\":\"TCP\", \"PortRange\":\"49152-65535\, \"Source\":\"203.0.113.5/32\"}, \"AddOutboundRules\":{\"Protocol\":\"TCP\", \"PortRange\":\"49152-65535\, \"Destination\":\"203.0.113.5/32\"}}"

7. (Optional) To remove inbound or outbound rules, you can issue a command similar to this that uses the Update Security Group CT:

   aws --profile saml amscm create-rfc --change-type-id "ct-3memthlcmvc1b" --change-type-version "1.0" --title "Remove-SG-Rules" --execution-parameters "{\"SecurityGroupId\":\"SG_ID\", \"Name\":\"MA-Test-SG-QC\", \"RemoveInboundRules\":{\"Protocol\":\"TCP\", \"PortRange\":\"49152-65535\, \"Source\":\"203.0.113.5/32\"}, \"RemoveOutboundRules\":{\"Protocol\":\"TCP\", \"PortRange\":\"49152-65535\, \"Destination\":\"203.0.113.5/32\"}}"

8. (Optional) To add associated resources, you can issue a command similar to this that uses the Update Security Group CT:

   aws --profile saml amscm create-rfc --change-type-id "ct-3memthlcmvc1b" --change-type-version "1.0" --title "Add-SG-Resources" --execution-parameters "{\"SecurityGroupId\":\"SG_ID\", \"AssociatedResources\":\"IDS_OF_RESOURCES\"}"

9. (Optional) To remove associated resources, you can issue a command similar to this that uses the Delete Security Group CT (note that SecurityGroupID and DeleteSecurityGroup are required parameters):

   aws --profile saml amscm create-rfc --change-type-id "ct-3cp96z7r065e4" --change-type-version "1.0" --title "Remove-SG-Resources" --execution-parameters "{\"SecurityGroupId\":\"SG_ID\", \"DeleteSecurityGroup\":\false, \"DisassociatedResources\":\"IDS_OF_RESOURCES\"}"

Tips

Note

There is an automated change type for deleting a security group, Deployment | Advanced stack components | Security group | Delete (no review required) (ct-18r16ldqil6w9) that may execute more quickly than this change type. For details, see Delete security group.

Note

You must first separate the security group from any resources associated with it or the RFC fails.

This is a "review required" change type (an AMS operator must review and run the CT), which means that the RFC can take longer to run and you might have to communicate with AMS through the RFC details page correspondance option. Additionally, if you schedule a "review required" change type RFC, be sure to allow at least 24 hours, if approval does not happen before the scheduled start time, the RFC is rejected automatically.
