I have my CloudFormation script like this now:
"SecurityGroupIngress" : [{
"IpProtocol" : "tcp",
"FromPort" : "0",
"ToPort" : "65535",
"CidrIp" : "0.0.0.0/0"
}]
and it looks like this, which is fine:
But I am wondering how to I update the template to get this:
Notice the Ports say All. I also wonder if they are different?
The original solution I posted (and accepted by the original poster) stopped working as AWS no longer supports it. To avoid the barrage of downvotes, I deleted the answer. The alternatives are:
Specify the ports 0 and 65535
or
Open all ports for all protocols not just TCP (as suggested by thewire247 below)
"SecurityGroupIngress" : [{
"IpProtocol" : "-1",
"CidrIp" : "0.0.0.0/0"
}]
If you are looking to allow all protocols and all ports, then you can do the following
{
"IpProtocol" : "-1"
"CidrIp" : "0.0.0.0/0"
}
FromPort
Start of port range for the TCP and UDP protocols, or an ICMP type number. If you specify icmp for the IpProtocol property, you can specify -1 as a wildcard (i.e., any ICMP type number).
ToPort
End of port range for the TCP and UDP protocols, or an ICMP code. If you specify icmp for the IpProtocol property, you can specify -1 as a wildcard (i.e., any ICMP code).
ex.
{ "IpProtocol" : "icmp", "FromPort" : "8", "ToPort" : "-1", "CidrIp" : "10.0.0.0/24" }

How can I restrict the ports that is open for port forwarding in AWS SSM. I've cloned the publicly available SSM document AWS-StartPortForwardingSession.
Trying to edit the allowedPattern parameter from accepting the regular expression for all ports in between 1024 to 65535 to accept only 4 port numbers (3142,4200,121,1300).
I've tried using JSON array to specify the needed port numbers but it is gining the error
InvalidDocumentContent: JSON not well-formed. at Line: 15, Column: 25
The original SSM document content
{
"schemaVersion":"1.0",

"sessionType":"Port",
"parameters":{
"portNumber":{
"type":"String",
"description":"(Optional) Port number of the server on the instance",
"allowedPattern":"^([1-9]|[1-9][0-9]{1,3}|[1-5][0-9]{4}|6[0-4][0-9]{3}|65[0-4][0-9]{2}|655[0-2][0-9]|6553[0-5])$",
"default": "80"
},

The problem you are having is because you are specifying a list instead of a pattern. Try this regex:
"(3142|4200|121|1300)"
To be clear, the quotes are not part of the regex, the entire line above is a string value for your AllowedPattern
I am trying to run the following command by reading cidr ips out of a txt file.
aws ec2 authorize-security-group-ingress --group-id $sgid --ip-permissions '[{"IpProtocol": "tcp", "FromPort": 9092, "ToPort": 9092, "IpRanges": [{"CidrIp": '${cidreip}', "Description": "$train us-east-2"}]}]'
When I try this with a single quote around my variable for cidr ip, I get the below error.
Error parsing parameter '--ip-permissions': Invalid JSON: Expecting ',' delimiter: line 1 column 87 (char 86)
Trying it with a double quote around the variable, the command takes it as a literal value. Not a variable.
How do I work around it? I tried escaping. I tried using the following
aws ec2 authorize-security-group-ingress --group-id $sgid --ip-permissions "[{"IpProtocol": "tcp", "FromPort": 9092, "ToPort": 9092, "IpRanges": [{"CidrIp": "$cidreip", "Description": "$train us-east-2"}]}]"
and I get a Error parsing parameter '--ip-permissions': Invalid JSON: error.
Please help. Thanks in advance.
First JSON does not use ', but you need ". Also you have to build your string in chunks:
aws ec2 authorize-security-group-ingress --group-id 33333 --ip-permissions '[{"IpProtocol": "tcp", "FromPort": 9092, "ToPort": 9092, "IpRanges": [{"CidrIp": "'${cidreip}'", "Description": "'${train}' us-east-2"}]}]'
I was wondering if I can add multiple listener rules for Classic Load Balancer with a CloudFormation template?
I tried adding listener rules but it was not taking them and I was told that we can not add multiple rules with a CloudFormation template.
AWS doc says we can use like below but can iIadd multiple listeners here?
{
"InstancePort" : String,
"InstanceProtocol" : String,
"LoadBalancerPort" : String,
"PolicyNames" : [ String, ... ],
"Protocol" : String,
"SSLCertificateId" : String
}
Here is an example from cloud-formation-templates/load-balancers.template at master ยท markitx/cloud-formation-templates:
"Listeners" :
[ {
"LoadBalancerPort" : "80",
"InstancePort" : "80",
"Protocol" : "HTTP"
},
{
"LoadBalancerPort": "443",
"InstancePort" : "8080",
"Protocol" : "HTTPS",
"PolicyNames" : [ "HTTPSCookieStickinessPolicy" ],
"SSLCertificateId" : "TODO: ARN for your SSL certificate here or remote HTTPS support"
} ],
My goal is to have a Cloud Formation template which not only automatically creates a VPC with a NAT host and bastion host, but which deploys a .NET app pulled from S3 into an Elastic Beanstalk which is load balanced and more importantly only allows access to the app from my office, NOT the whole internet. It seems that even though the app might be in a VPC in a Private subnet and the ELB is in the Public subnet, that the Network ACL on the Public subnet is irrelevant. If I lock down the Public subnet to only my office, connections from outside the office can still come into the ELB and hit the application.
What seems to work is applying a Security group to the ELB, but I do not see any way to force the creation of a specific ELB with a specific SG inside a "AWS::ElasticBeanstalk::Environment" object. The ELB and ELB SG are created automatically by beanstalk and must be manually altered after CF runs. I don't want that. I want a way to create everything in CF in an automated way with no manual steps after the fact. yes, I've tried Cloud Former on a manually created stakc. No, it doesn't give me what I want.
Here's an excerpt from my CF Template:
"MyWebApp": {
"Type": "AWS::ElasticBeanstalk::Application",
"Properties": {
"ApplicationName" : "AlmDemoWebApp",
"Description": "MyWebapp"
}
},
"MyWebAppVersion": {
"Type": "AWS::ElasticBeanstalk::ApplicationVersion",
"Properties": {
"ApplicationName": {"Ref": "MyWebApp"},
"SourceBundle": {
"S3Bucket": "mywebapp",
"S3Key": {"Fn::Join" : ["", ["MyWebApp.", {"Ref":"Version"}, ".zip"]]}
}
}
},
"MyWebAppEnvironment" : {
"DependsOn" : ["MyWebApp", "MyWebAppVersion", "BastionSecurityGroup", "BeanstalkSecurityGroup", "VPC", "EBLoadBalancer", "EBLoadBalancerSecurityGroup", "PrivateSubnet", "PublicSubnet"],
"Type" : "AWS::ElasticBeanstalk::Environment",
"Properties" : {
"ApplicationName" : { "Ref" : "MyWebApp" },
"Description" : "MyWebApp Target Environment",
"SolutionStackName": "64bit Windows Server 2012 R2 running IIS 8.5",
"OptionSettings" : [
{"Namespace" : "aws:autoscaling:launchconfiguration", "OptionName" : "SecurityGroups", "Value" : { "Ref" : "BeanstalkSecurityGroup" }},
{"Namespace" : "aws:autoscaling:launchconfiguration", "OptionName" : "EC2KeyName", "Value" : { "Ref" : "InstanceKeyName" }},
{"Namespace" : "aws:ec2:vpc", "OptionName" : "VPCId", "Value" : { "Ref" : "VPC" }},
{"Namespace" : "aws:ec2:vpc", "OptionName" : "Subnets", "Value" : { "Ref" : "PrivateSubnet" }},
{"Namespace" : "aws:ec2:vpc", "OptionName" : "ELBSubnets", "Value" : { "Ref" : "PublicSubnet" }}],
"VersionLabel": {"Ref": "MyWebAppVersion"}
}
}
Is there some mysterious and poorly documented option that I can put in the AWS::ElasticBeanstalk::Environment -> Properties -> OptionSettings that will force the Elastic Beanstalk to use a specific ELB configured previously in the CF template ("EBLoadBalancer") rather than automatically create one with a random name? Applying ingress rules to the "BeanstalkSecurityGroup" doesn't seem to help. The SG rules have to be on the ELB to actually work, apparently.
Sounds like you need to create an internal ELB for your Elastic Beanstalk stack. For this, create a property as below.
"ELBScheme":{
"Type":"String",
"AllowedValues":[
"internal"
],
"Default":"internal",
"Description":"Internal load balancer in VPC so that your Elastic Beanstalk application cannot be accessed from outside your VPC."
}
And refer it as a namespace in your AWS::ElasticBeanstalk::Environment "MyWebAppEnvironment"
{
"Namespace":"aws:ec2:vpc",
"OptionName":"ELBScheme",
"Value":"internal"
}
I am trying to combine the Cloud formation template multi-tier-web-app-in-vpc.template with the cloudformation template used by viusal studio to create Load Balanced instances. The goal is to create 2 application servers within a private subnet of a VPC. The template works fine but when I start plugging in windows instances they just fail.

It looks like you are taking on too much, trying to get everything working all at once. I would try to take it one step at a time. Create a template that gets one instance up, then add auto scaling, then load balancer, then subnet, routing, etc. The problem that presents itself now is likely because you have not signaled success for the wait condition.
Below is the Properties section of an Instance resource. This snipet was taken from an AWS documentation page. Note that the "UserData" section has a call to cfn-init.exe in order to perform the actions specified in the Instance's Cloud Formation section, and has a call to cfn-signal.exe to signal to the WaitCondition that the instance is up.
"Properties": {
"InstanceType" : { "Ref" : "InstanceType" },
"ImageId" : { "Fn::FindInMap" : [ "AWSRegionArch2AMI", { "Ref" : "AWS::Region" },
{ "Fn::FindInMap" : [ "AWSInstanceType2Arch", { "Ref" : "InstanceType" }, "Arch" ] } ] },
"SecurityGroups" : [ {"Ref" : "SharePointFoundationSecurityGroup"} ],
"KeyName" : { "Ref" : "KeyPairName" },
"UserData" : { "Fn::Base64" : { "Fn::Join" : ["", [
"<script>\n",
"cfn-init.exe -v -s ", { "Ref" : "AWS::StackName" },
" -r SharePointFoundation",
" --region ", { "Ref" : "AWS::Region" }, "\n",
"cfn-signal.exe -e %ERRORLEVEL% ", { "Fn::Base64" : { "Ref" : "SharePointFoundationWaitHandle" }}, "\n",
"</script>"
]]}}
}
You have set the front end wait condition to basically wait until your FrontendFleet is up and running.
You should set a desired capacity for your front end fleet.
When you get this error, what is the state of your autoscaling group FrontendFleet? If this is still bringing up instances, then your timeout is simply to short.
I honestly wouldn't worry about the waitcondtions unless you really need them.
