Answer 1

This worked for me. I was able to add the All allow Ingress to the security group

import boto
ec2 = boto.connect_ec2()
sg = ec2.get_all_security_groups(group_ids='sg-12345')[0]
sg.authorize(ip_protocol="-1", from_port=None, to_port=None, cidr_ip="0.0.0.0/0", src_group=None, dry_run=False)
