boto3列出AWS账户的所有安全组

Question

Is there any way to list all AWS security groups using boto3 ?

With this code i can get only 5 groups (out of 25 in region)

client = boto3.client('ec2')

response=client.describe_security_groups(



)
print response

I have 4 VPC's so i tried to get groups for each VPC, added this as filter:

Filters=[
        {
            'Name': 'vpc-id',
            'Values': [
                'vpc-d60ee9b1',
            ]
        },
    ],

But as results i got this:

{u'SecurityGroups': [], 'ResponseMetadata': {'RetryAttempts': 0, 'HTTPStatusCode': 200, 'RequestId': '44f39633-4f21-4c4f-b3f4-82fbce538c5f', 'HTTPHeaders': {'transfer-encoding': 'chunked', 'vary': 'Accept-Encoding', 'server': 'AmazonEC2', 'content-type': 'text/xml;charset=UTF-8', 'date': 'Thu, 03 May 2018 08:25:03 GMT'}}}

Tried to filter by region and got: The filter 'region' is invalid

However, with AWS CLI it works:

aws ec2 describe-security-groups --region $REGION

Does it means i need to stick with AWS CLI or boto3 has syntax to list ALL security groups for AWS account ?

Answer 1

You may be describing resources in a different region. That's a common reason for things not showing up.

You can set the region as follows:

ec2 = boto3.client('ec2', region_name='us-west-2')
