Deletes a security group

Description

Deletes a security group.

If you attempt to delete a security group that is associated with an instance or network interface, is referenced by another security group in the same VPC, or has a VPC association, the operation fails with DependencyViolation.

Usage

ec2_delete_security_group(GroupId, GroupName, DryRun)

Arguments

  • GroupId

    The ID of the security group.

  • GroupName

    [Default VPC] The name of the security group. You can specify either the security group name or the security group ID. For security groups in a nondefault VPC, you must specify the security group ID.

  • DryRun

    Checks whether you have the required permissions for the action, without actually making the request, and provides an error response. If you have the required permissions, the error response is DryRunOperation. Otherwise, it is UnauthorizedOperation.

Value

A list with the following syntax:

list(
  Return = TRUE|FALSE,
  GroupId = "string"
)

Request syntax

svc$delete_security_group(
  GroupId = "string",
  GroupName = "string",
  DryRun = TRUE|FALSE
)

Examples

# This example deletes the specified security group.
svc$delete_security_group(
  GroupId = "sg-903004f8"
)
