Add egress rules in ec2_group

I’m not sure why this option didn’t exist to begin with but I certainly use it all the time.
I have the necessary changes over at https://github.com/codezerk/ansible
One thing to note here is that it will remove the default egress rule if not defined in the rules list, similar to the ingress rules.

example:

  • name: example ec2 group
    local_action:
    module: ec2_group
    name: example
    description: an example EC2 group
    vpc_id: 12345
    region: eu-west-1a
    ec2_secret_key: SECRET
    ec2_access_key: ACCESS
    rules:
  • proto: tcp
    from_port: 80
    to_port: 80
    cidr_ip: 0.0.0.0/0
    egress: yes <------------------ this will mark it as egress
  • proto: tcp
    from_port: 22
    to_port: 22
    cidr_ip: 10.0.0.0/8
  • proto: udp
    from_port: 10050
    to_port: 10050
    cidr_ip: 10.0.0.0/8
  • proto: udp
    from_port: 10051
    to_port: 10051
    group_id: sg-12345678
  • proto: all
