VM::EC...yGroup(3pm)

💖 VM::EC2::DB::SecurityGroup — it's giving RDS Database Security Group energy 🎀

okay bestie, so this page lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section of the manual, and it's literally called VM::EC2::DB::SecurityGroup(3pm). It's an RDS Database Security Group object and it is so much less scary than it sounds. Let's get into it ✨

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the vibe, copy-paste ready, no cap:

$ec2     = VM::EC2->new(...);
@sg = $ec2->describe_db_security_groups;
foreach $group (@sg) {
  print $_,"\n" foreach $group->IPRanges;
  print $_->group_name,"\n" foreach $group->EC2SecurityGroups;
}

like… you spin up your $ec2, you ask for all the db security groups, and then for each group you're printing the IP ranges and the EC2 security groups by name. slay 💅

---

🌸 METHODS 🌸

every one of these is a method on the object, bestie. here's the full roster, nothing skipped, we don't do that here:

• DBSecurityGroupDescription — the description of the DB security group 📝
• DBSecurityGroupName — the name of the DB security group 🏷️
• EC2SecurityGroups — the EC2 security groups that are enabled in the DB group 🔥
• IPRanges — the IP Ranges that are enabled in the DB group 🌐
• OwnerId — the Owner ID of the DB security group 👑
• VpcId — the VPC ID of the DB security group 🦋
• ec2_security_groups — alias for EC2SecurityGroups (same thing, lowercase core)
• ip_ranges — alias for IPRanges (again, same thing, just chiller)

bestie note: those last two are aliases, not separate features. ec2_security_groups = EC2SecurityGroups, ip_ranges = IPRanges. pick whichever one matches your vibe, they're identical. 💖

🫶 DESCRIPTION 🫶

so this object represents a DB Security Group. that's it, that's the whole thing. it's the resultant output of these four calls:

• VM::EC2->describe_db_security_groups()
• VM::EC2->authorize_db_security_group_ingress()
• VM::EC2->create_db_security_group()
• VM::EC2->revoke_db_security_group_ingress()

so whether you're describing, creating, authorizing ingress, or revoking ingress — if a DB security group comes back, it comes back as one of these. iconic behavior honestly ⭐

---

🎀 STRING OVERLOADING 🎀

when you use this object in a string context, it outputs the DB Security Group Name. that's the whole section, but it's an important one — it means you can just print the thing and get the name. main character energy fr fr 💅

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

go read these too, they're the friend group:

• VM::EC2
• VM::EC2::Generic
• VM::EC2::DB::Instance
