AWS-IP

Update your IP address to multiple security groups on AWS EC2

Installation

npm install -g aws-ip

Usage

A simple config file with the name config.json needs to be created which contains all the information required to access the security groups and put the relevant IP addresses and ports.

A sample config file -

{
  "accessKeyId": "SDJFF9NIGNFOG09340MD",
  "secretAccessKey": "bb2+KJIUjkif8934nfjke/sfefneurifneirn+sf",
  "region": "ap-south-1",
  "port": 22,
  "ip": ["192.168.1.1", "122.162.228.18"],
  "groupIds": ["sg-d2ebd6bb"]
}

• accessKeyId - AWS profile’s access key ID.
• secretAccessKey - AWS profile’s secret access key.
• region - AWS region in which you want to update security groups.
• port (optional) - Port number to access through your security groups. Default is 22 (SSH).
• ip (optional) - IP addresses which need to be given inbound access. Defaults to the current IP address.
• groupIds (optional) - All the security groups which need be updated with the IP addresses. Defaults to all security groups in the region.

After creating the config.json file, simply run this app providing the absolute path to the config file -

CONFIG=/home/username/config.json aws-ip

This will handle all the things from here and the security groups would be updated with the information provided.

Permissions

Make sure the AWS credentials you provide, has the following permissions -

1. “ec2:AuthorizeSecurityGroupIngress”
2. “ec2:DescribeSecurityGroups”

    "Statement": [
        {
            "Sid": "Stmt1215115857555",
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "ec2:AuthorizeSecurityGroupIngress",
                "ec2:DescribeSecurityGroups"
            ],
            "Resource": [
                "*"
            ]
        }
    ]
}
