Terraform: Feature request: add description to egress/ingress rules in aws_security_group

[yyarmoshyk]

Hi there,

I'd like to specify the descriptions for ingress and egress rules using aws_security_group resource but this is not allows in terraform. I am pretty limited in permissions so I can not use aws_security_group_rule resource - need to fit everything into aws_security_group resource :-(

When I specify the security group like:

resource "aws_security_group" "some_sg" {
    vpc_id      = "${data.aws_vpc.selected.id}"
    name        = "some-name-sg"
    description = "Allow incomming and outgoing connections"
    tags {
        Name              = "some-name-sg"
        provisioner       = "terraform"
    }
    # Inbound HTTP from the Internet
    ingress {
        from_port   = 80
        to_port     = 80
        protocol    = "tcp"
        cidr_blocks = ["0.0.0.0/0"]
        description = "Allow access from any host"
    }
    egress {
        from_port       = 0
        to_port         = 0
        protocol        = "-1"
        cidr_blocks = ["0.0.0.0/0"]
        description = "Allow access everywhere"
    }
}

I get the following error on terraform apply:
egress.0: invalid or unknown key: description

Terraform Version

Terraform v0.10.6

Expected Behavior

The security groups should have contained the inbound and outbound rules with descriptions.

Actual Behavior

I get the following error on terraform apply:
egress.0: invalid or unknown key: description

Steps to Reproduce

terraform plan or terraform apply

Important Factoids

This is not yet supported in AWS provider, but once this PR is merged you should be able to use it.

https://github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-aws/pull/1587 has been merged in and the aws provider v1.1.0 is out. After updating using $ terraform init -upgrade the ingress/egress descriptions are supported and don't error out.

This issue can be closed.
