-title: About the aws_s3_bucket_object Resource
----
-
-# aws\_s3\_bucket\_object
-
-Use the `aws_s3_bucket_object` InSpec audit resource to test properties of a single AWS bucket object.
-
-Each S3 Object has a 'key' which can be thought of as the name of the S3 Object which uniquely identifies it.
-
-
-<br>
-
-## Limitations
-
-S3 object security is a complex matter.  For details on how AWS evaluates requests for access, please see [the AWS documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/how-s3-evaluates-access-control.html).  S3 buckets and the objects they contain support three different types of access control: bucket ACLs, bucket policies, and object ACLs.
-
-As of January 2018, this resource supports evaluating S3 Object ACLs. In particular, users of the `be_public` matcher should carefully examine the conditions under which the matcher will detect an insecure bucket.  See the `be_public` section under the Matchers section below.
-
-## Syntax
-
-An `aws_s3_bucket_object` resource block declares a bucket and an object key by name, and then lists tests to be performed.
-
-    describe aws_s3_bucket_object(bucket_name: 'test_bucket', key: 'test_object_key') do
-      it { should exist }
-      it { should_not be_public }
-    end
-
-<br>
-
-## Examples
-
-The following examples show how to use this InSpec audit resource.
-
-### Test a object's object-level ACL
-
-    describe aws_s3_bucket_object(bucket_name: 'test_bucket', key: 'test_key') do
-      its('object_acl.count') { should eq 1 }
-    end
-
-### Check to see if a object appears to be exposed to the public
-
-    # See Limitations section above
-    describe aws_s3_bucket_object(bucket_name: 'test_bucket', key: 'test_key') do
-      it { should_not be_public }
-    end
-<br>
-
-## Unsupported Properties
-
-### object\_acl
-
-The `object_acl` property is a low-level property that lists the individual Object ACL grants that are in effect on the object.  Other higher-level properties, such as be\_public, are more concise and easier to use.  You can use the `object_acl` property to investigate which grants are in effect, causing be\_public to fail.
-
-The value of object_acl is an Array of simple objects.  Each object has a `permission` property and a `grantee` property.  The `permission` property will be a string such as 'READ', 'WRITE' etc (See the [AWS documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdkforruby/api/Aws/S3/Client.html#get_bucket_acl-instance_method) for a full list).  The `grantee` property contains sub-properties, such as `type` and `uri`.
-
-
-    object_acl = aws_s3_bucket_object(bucket_name: 'my_bucket', key: 'object_key')
-
-    # Look for grants to "AllUsers" (that is, the public)
-    all_users_grants = object_acl.select do |g|
-      g.grantee.type == 'Group' && g.grantee.uri =~ /AllUsers/
-    end
-
-    # Look for grants to "AuthenticatedUsers" (that is, any authenticated AWS user - nearly public)
-    auth_grants = object_acl.select do |g|
-      g.grantee.type == 'Group' && g.grantee.uri =~ /AuthenticatedUsers/
-    end
-
-## Matchers
-
-This InSpec audit resource has the following special matchers. For a full list of available matchers (such as `exist`) please visit our [matchers page](https://www.inspec.io/docs/reference/matchers/).
-
-### be\_public
-
-The `be_public` matcher tests if the object has potentially insecure access controls. This high-level matcher detects several insecure conditions, which may be enhanced in the future. Currently, the matcher reports an insecure object if any of the following conditions are met:
-
-  1. A object ACL grant exists for the 'AllUsers' group
-  2. A object ACL grant exists for the 'AuthenticatedUsers' group
-
-Note: This resource does not detect insecure bucket ACLs.
-
-    it { should_not be_public }
-
-## AWS Permissions
-
-Your [Principal](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/intro-structure.html#intro-structure-principal) will need the `s3:GetObject`, and `s3:GetObjectAcl` actions set to allow.

----
-title: About the aws_security_group Resource
----
-
-# aws\_security\_group
-
-Use the `aws_security_group` InSpec audit resource to test detailed properties of an individual Security Group (SG).
-
-SGs are a networking construct which contain ingress and egress rules for network communications.  SGs may be attached to EC2 instances, as well as certain other AWS resources.  Along with Network Access Control Lists, SGs are one of the two main mechanisms of enforcing network-level security.
-
-## Limitations
-
-While this resource provides facilities for searching inbound and outbound rules on a variety of criteria, there is currently no support for performing matches based on:
-
- * IPv6 ranges
- * References to other Security Groups
- * References to VPC peers or other AWS services (that is, no support for searches based on 'prefix lists').
-
-<br>
-
-## Syntax
-
-Resource parameters: group_id, group_name, id, vpc_id
-
-An `aws_security_group` resource block uses resource parameters to search for and then test a Security Group. If no SGs match, no error is raised, but the `exists` matcher returns `false`, and all scalar properties are `nil`. List properties returned under these conditions are empty lists. If more than one SG matches (due to vague search parameters), an error is raised.
-
-    # Ensure you have a Security Group with a specific ID
-    # This is "safe" - SG IDs are unique within an account
-    describe aws_security_group('sg-12345678') do
-      it { should exist }
-    end
-
-    # Ensure you have a Security Group with a specific ID
-    # This uses hash syntax
-    describe aws_security_group(id: 'sg-12345678') do
-      it { should exist }
-    end
-
-    # Ensure you have a Security Group with a specific name.  Names are
-    # unique within a VPC but not across VPCs.
-    # Using only Group returns an error if multiple SGs match.
-    describe aws_security_group(group_name: 'my-group') do
-      it { should exist }
-    end
-    # Add vpc_id to ensure uniqueness.
-    describe aws_security_group(group_name: 'my-group', vpc_id: 'vpc-12345678') do
-      it { should exist }
-    end
-
-<br>
-
-## Examples
-
-The following examples show how to use this InSpec audit resource.
-
-    # Ensure that the linux_servers Security Group permits
-    # SSH from the 10.5.0.0/16 range, but not the world.
-    describe aws_security_group(group_name: linux_servers) do
-      # This passes if any inbound rule exists that specifies
-      # port 22 and the given IP range, regardless of protocol, etc.
-      it { should allow_in(port: 22, ipv4_range: '10.5.0.0/16') }
-
-      # This passes so long as no inbound rule that specifies port 22 exists
-      # with a source IP range of 0.0.0.0/0.  Other properties are ignored.
-      it { should_not allow_in(port: 22, ipv4_range: '0.0.0.0/0') }
-
-    end
-
-    # Ensure that the careful_updates Security Group may only initiate contact with specific IPs.
-    describe aws_security_group(group_name: 'careful_updates') do
-
-      # If you have two rules, with one CIDR each:
-      [ '10.7.23.12/32', '10.8.23.12/32' ].each do |allowed_destination|
-        # This doesn't care about which ports are enabled
-        it { should allow_out(ipv4_range: allowed_destination) }
-      end
-
-      # If you have one rule with two CIDRs:
-      it { should allow_out(ipv4_range: [ '10.7.23.12/32', '10.8.23.12/32' ] }
-
-      # Expect exactly three rules.
-      its('outbound_rules.count') { should cmp 3 }
-    end
-
-<br>
-
-## Resource Parameters
-
-This InSpec resource accepts the following parameters, which are used to search for the Security Group.
-
-### id, group\_id
-
-The Security Group ID of the Security Group. This is of the format `sg-` followed by 8 hexadecimal characters.  The ID is unique within your AWS account; using ID ensures a match of only one SG. The ID is also the default resource parameter, so you may omit the hash syntax.
-
-    # Using Hash syntax
-    describe aws_security_group(id: 'sg-12345678') do
-      it { should exist }
-    end
-
-    # group_id is an alias for id
-    describe aws_security_group(group_id: 'sg-12345678') do
-      it { should exist }
-    end
-
-    # Or omit hash syntax, rely on it being the default parameter
-    describe aws_security_group('sg-12345678') do
-      it { should exist }
-    end
-
-### group\_name
-
-The string name of the Security Group.  Every VPC has a Security Group named 'default'. Names are unique within a VPC, but not within an AWS account.
-
-    # Get default Security Group for a specific VPC
-    describe aws_security_group(group_name: 'default', vpc_id: vpc_id: 'vpc-12345678') do
-      it { should exist }
-    end
-
-    # This throws an error if more than one VPC has a 'backend' SG.
-    describe aws_security_group(group_name: 'backend') do
-      it { should exist }
-    end
-
-### vpc\_id
-
-A string identifying the VPC that contains the Security Group. Since VPCs commonly contain many SGs, you should add additional parameters to ensure you find exactly one SG.
-
-    # This throws an error if more than the default SG exists
-    describe aws_security_group(vpc_id: 'vpc-12345678') do
-      it { should exist }
-    end
-
-<br>
-## Properties
-
-* [`description`](#description), [`group_id`](#group_id), [`group_name`](#group_name), [`inbound_rules`](#inbound_rules), [`outbound_rules`](#outbound_rules), [`vpc_id`](#vpc_id)
-
-<br>
-
-## Property Examples
-
-### description
-
-A String reflecting the human-meaningful description that was given to the SG at creation time.
-
-    # Require a description of a particular Security Group
-    describe aws_security_group('sg-12345678') do
-      its('description') { should_not be_empty }
-    end
-
-### group\_id
-
-Provides the Security Group ID.
-
-    # Inspect the Security group ID of the default Group
-    describe aws_security_group(group_name: 'default', vpc_id: vpc_id: 'vpc-12345678') do
-      its('group_id') { should cmp 'sg-12345678' }
-    end
-
-    # Store the Group ID in a Ruby variable for use elsewhere
-    sg_id = aws_security_group(group_name: 'default', vpc_id: vpc_id: 'vpc-12345678').group_id
-
-### group\_name
-
-A String reflecting the name that was given to the SG at creation time.
-
-    # Inspect the Group name of a particular Group
-    describe aws_security_group('sg-12345678') do
-      its('group_name') { should cmp 'my_group' }
-    end
-
-### inbound\_rules
-
-A list of the rules that the Security Group applies to incoming network traffic. This is a low-level property that is used by the [`allow_in`](#allow_in) and [`allow_in_only`](#allow_in_only) matchers; see them for detailed examples. `inbound_rules` is provided here for those wishing to use Ruby code to inspect the rules directly, instead of using higher-level matchers.
-
-Order is critical in these rules, as the sequentially first rule to match is applied to network traffic. By default, AWS includes a reject-all rule as the last inbound rule.  This implicit rule does not appear in the inbound_rules list.
-
-If the Security Group could not be found (that is, `exists` is false), `inbound_rules` returns an empty list.
-
-    describe aws_security_group(group_name: linux_servers) do
-      its('inbound_rules.first') { should include(from_port: '22', ip_ranges: ['10.2.17.0/24']) }
-    end
-
-### outbound\_rules
-
-A list of the rules that the Security Group applies to outgoing network traffic initiated by the AWS resource in the Security Group. This is a low-level property that is used by the [`allow_out`](#allow_out) matcher; see it for detailed examples. `outbound_rules` is provided here for those wishing to use Ruby code to inspect the rules directly, instead of using higher-level matchers.
-
-Order is critical in these rules, as the sequentially first rule to match is applied to network traffic. Outbound rules are typically used when it is desirable to restrict which portions of the internet, if any, a resource may access. By default, AWS includes an allow-all rule as the last outbound rule; note that Terraform removes this implicit rule.
-
-If the Security Group could not be found (that is, `exists` is false), `outbound_rules` returns an empty list.
-
-    describe aws_security_group(group_name: isolated_servers) do
-      its('outbound_rules.last') { should_not include(ip_ranges:['0.0.0.0/0']) }
-    end
-
-### vpc\_id
-
-A String in the format 'vpc-' followed by 8 hexadecimal characters reflecting VPC that contains the Security Group.
-
-    # Inspec the VPC ID of a particular Group
-    describe aws_security_group('sg-12345678') do
-      its('vpc_id') { should cmp 'vpc-12345678' }
-    end
-
-<br>
-
-## Matchers
-
-This InSpec audit resource has the following special matchers. For a full list of additional available matchers, please visit our [Universal Matchers page](https://www.inspec.io/docs/reference/matchers/).
-
-* [`allow_in`](#allow_in), [`allow_in_only`](#allow_in_only), [`allow_out`](#allow_out), [`allow_out_only`](#allow_out_only)
-
-### allow\_in
-
-### allow\_out
-
-### allow\_in\_only
-
-### allow\_out\_only
-
-The `allow` series of matchers enable you to perform queries about what network traffic would be permitted through the Security Group rule set.
-
-`allow_in` and `allow_in_exactly` examine inbound rules, and `allow_out` and `allow_out_exactly` examine outbound rules.
-
-`allow_in` and `allow_out` examine if at least one rule that matches the criteria exists. `allow_in` and `allow_out` also perform inexact (ie, range-based or subset-based) matching on ports and IP addresses ranges, allowing you to specify a candidate port or IP address and determine if it is covered by a rule.
-
-`allow_in_only` and `allow_out_only` examines if exactly one rule exists (but see `position`, below), and if it matches the criteria (this is useful for ensuring no unexpected rules have been added). Additionally, `allow_in_only` and `allow_out_only` do _not_ perform inexact matching; you must specify exactly the port range or IP address(es) you wish to match.
-
-The matchers accept a key-value list of search criteria.  For a rule to match, it must match all provided criteria.
-
-  * from_port - Determines if a rule exists whose port range begins at the specified number. The word 'from_' does *not* relate to inbound/outbound directionality; it relates to the port range ("counting _from_"). `from_port` is an exact criterion; so if the rule allows 1000-2000 and you specify a `from_port` of 1001, it does not match.
-  * ipv4_range - Specifies an IPv4 address or subnet as a CIDR, or a list of them, to be checked as a permissible origin (for `allow_in`) or destination (for `allow_out`) for traffic.  Each AWS Security Group rule may have multiple allowed source IP ranges.
-  * port - Determines if a particular TCP/IP port is reachable. allow_in and allow_out examine whether the specified port is included in the port range of a rule, while allow_in. You may specify the port as a string (`'22'`) or as a number.
-  * position - A one-based index into the list of rules. If provided, this restricts the evaluation to the rule at that position. You may also use the special values `:first` and `:last`. `position` may also be used to enable `allow_in_only` and `allow_out_only` to work with multi-rule Security Groups.
-  * protocol - Specifies the IP protocol. 'tcp', 'udp', and 'icmp' are some typical values. The string "-1" or 'any' is used to indicate any protocol.
-  * to_port - Determines if a rule exists whose port range ends at the specified number. The word 'to_' does *not* relate to inbound/outbound directionality; it relates to the port range ("counting _to_"). `to_port` is an exact criterion; so if the rule allows 1000-2000 and you specify a `to_port` of 1999, it does not match.
-
-    describe aws_security_group(group_name: 'mixed-functionality-group') do
-      # Allow RDP from defined range
-      it { should allow_in(port: 3389, ipv4_range: '10.5.0.0/16') }

+title: About the aws_security_group Resource
+---
+
+# aws\_security\_group
+
+Use the `aws_security_group` InSpec audit resource to test detailed properties of an individual Security Group (SG).
+
+SGs are a networking construct which contain ingress and egress rules for network communications.  SGs may be attached to EC2 instances, as well as certain other AWS resources.  Along with Network Access Control Lists, SGs are one of the two main mechanisms of enforcing network-level security.
+
+## Limitations
+
+While this resource provides facilities for searching inbound and outbound rules on a variety of criteria, there is currently no support for performing matches based on:
+
+ * IPv6 ranges
+ * References to other Security Groups
+ * References to VPC peers or other AWS services (that is, no support for searches based on 'prefix lists').
+
+<br>
+
+## Syntax
+
+Resource parameters: group_id, group_name, id, vpc_id
+
+An `aws_security_group` resource block uses resource parameters to search for and then test a Security Group. If no SGs match, no error is raised, but the `exists` matcher returns `false`, and all scalar properties are `nil`. List properties returned under these conditions are empty lists. If more than one SG matches (due to vague search parameters), an error is raised.
+
+    # Ensure you have a Security Group with a specific ID
+    # This is "safe" - SG IDs are unique within an account
+    describe aws_security_group('sg-12345678') do
+      it { should exist }
+    end
+
+    # Ensure you have a Security Group with a specific ID
+    # This uses hash syntax
+    describe aws_security_group(id: 'sg-12345678') do
+      it { should exist }
+    end
+
+    # Ensure you have a Security Group with a specific name.  Names are
+    # unique within a VPC but not across VPCs.
+    # Using only Group returns an error if multiple SGs match.
+    describe aws_security_group(group_name: 'my-group') do
+      it { should exist }
+    end
+    # Add vpc_id to ensure uniqueness.
+    describe aws_security_group(group_name: 'my-group', vpc_id: 'vpc-12345678') do
+      it { should exist }
+    end
+
+<br>
+
+## Examples
+
+The following examples show how to use this InSpec audit resource.
+
+    # Ensure that the linux_servers Security Group permits
+    # SSH from the 10.5.0.0/16 range, but not the world.
+    describe aws_security_group(group_name: linux_servers) do
+      # This passes if any inbound rule exists that specifies
+      # port 22 and the given IP range, regardless of protocol, etc.
+      it { should allow_in(port: 22, ipv4_range: '10.5.0.0/16') }
+
+      # This passes so long as no inbound rule that specifies port 22 exists
+      # with a source IP range of 0.0.0.0/0.  Other properties are ignored.
+      it { should_not allow_in(port: 22, ipv4_range: '0.0.0.0/0') }
+
+    end
+
+    # Ensure that the careful_updates Security Group may only initiate contact with specific IPs.
+    describe aws_security_group(group_name: 'careful_updates') do
+
+      # If you have two rules, with one CIDR each:
+      [ '10.7.23.12/32', '10.8.23.12/32' ].each do |allowed_destination|
+        # This doesn't care about which ports are enabled
+        it { should allow_out(ipv4_range: allowed_destination) }
+      end
+
+      # If you have one rule with two CIDRs:
+      it { should allow_out(ipv4_range: [ '10.7.23.12/32', '10.8.23.12/32' ] }
+
+      # Expect exactly three rules.
+      its('outbound_rules.count') { should cmp 3 }
+    end
+
+<br>
+
+## Resource Parameters
+
+This InSpec resource accepts the following parameters, which are used to search for the Security Group.
+
+### id, group\_id
+
+The Security Group ID of the Security Group. This is of the format `sg-` followed by 8 hexadecimal characters.  The ID is unique within your AWS account; using ID ensures a match of only one SG. The ID is also the default resource parameter, so you may omit the hash syntax.
+
+    # Using Hash syntax
+    describe aws_security_group(id: 'sg-12345678') do
+      it { should exist }
+    end
+
+    # group_id is an alias for id
+    describe aws_security_group(group_id: 'sg-12345678') do
+      it { should exist }
+    end
+
+    # Or omit hash syntax, rely on it being the default parameter
+    describe aws_security_group('sg-12345678') do
+      it { should exist }
+    end
+
+### group\_name
+
+The string name of the Security Group.  Every VPC has a Security Group named 'default'. Names are unique within a VPC, but not within an AWS account.
+
+    # Get default Security Group for a specific VPC
+    describe aws_security_group(group_name: 'default', vpc_id: vpc_id: 'vpc-12345678') do
+      it { should exist }
+    end
+
+    # This throws an error if more than one VPC has a 'backend' SG.
+    describe aws_security_group(group_name: 'backend') do
+      it { should exist }
+    end
+
+### vpc\_id
+
+A string identifying the VPC that contains the Security Group. Since VPCs commonly contain many SGs, you should add additional parameters to ensure you find exactly one SG.
+
+    # This throws an error if more than the default SG exists
+    describe aws_security_group(vpc_id: 'vpc-12345678') do
+      it { should exist }
+    end
+
+<br>
+## Properties
+
+* [`description`](#description), [`group_id`](#group_id), [`group_name`](#group_name), [`inbound_rules`](#inbound_rules), [`outbound_rules`](#outbound_rules), [`vpc_id`](#vpc_id)
+
+<br>
+
+## Property Examples
+
+### description
+
+A String reflecting the human-meaningful description that was given to the SG at creation time.
+
+    # Require a description of a particular Security Group
+    describe aws_security_group('sg-12345678') do
+      its('description') { should_not be_empty }
+    end
+
+### group\_id
+
+Provides the Security Group ID.
+
+    # Inspect the Security group ID of the default Group
+    describe aws_security_group(group_name: 'default', vpc_id: vpc_id: 'vpc-12345678') do
+      its('group_id') { should cmp 'sg-12345678' }
+    end
+
+    # Store the Group ID in a Ruby variable for use elsewhere
+    sg_id = aws_security_group(group_name: 'default', vpc_id: vpc_id: 'vpc-12345678').group_id
+
+### group\_name
+
+A String reflecting the name that was given to the SG at creation time.
+
+    # Inspect the Group name of a particular Group
+    describe aws_security_group('sg-12345678') do
+      its('group_name') { should cmp 'my_group' }
+    end
+
+### inbound\_rules
+
+A list of the rules that the Security Group applies to incoming network traffic. This is a low-level property that is used by the [`allow_in`](#allow_in) and [`allow_in_only`](#allow_in_only) matchers; see them for detailed examples. `inbound_rules` is provided here for those wishing to use Ruby code to inspect the rules directly, instead of using higher-level matchers.
+
+Order is critical in these rules, as the sequentially first rule to match is applied to network traffic. By default, AWS includes a reject-all rule as the last inbound rule.  This implicit rule does not appear in the inbound_rules list.
+
+If the Security Group could not be found (that is, `exists` is false), `inbound_rules` returns an empty list.
+
+    describe aws_security_group(group_name: linux_servers) do
+      its('inbound_rules.first') { should include(from_port: '22', ip_ranges: ['10.2.17.0/24']) }
+    end
+
+### outbound\_rules
+
+A list of the rules that the Security Group applies to outgoing network traffic initiated by the AWS resource in the Security Group. This is a low-level property that is used by the [`allow_out`](#allow_out) matcher; see it for detailed examples. `outbound_rules` is provided here for those wishing to use Ruby code to inspect the rules directly, instead of using higher-level matchers.
+
+Order is critical in these rules, as the sequentially first rule to match is applied to network traffic. Outbound rules are typically used when it is desirable to restrict which portions of the internet, if any, a resource may access. By default, AWS includes an allow-all rule as the last outbound rule; note that Terraform removes this implicit rule.
+
+If the Security Group could not be found (that is, `exists` is false), `outbound_rules` returns an empty list.
+
+    describe aws_security_group(group_name: isolated_servers) do
+      its('outbound_rules.last') { should_not include(ip_ranges:['0.0.0.0/0']) }
+    end
+
+### vpc\_id
+
+A String in the format 'vpc-' followed by 8 hexadecimal characters reflecting VPC that contains the Security Group.
+
+    # Inspec the VPC ID of a particular Group
+    describe aws_security_group('sg-12345678') do
+      its('vpc_id') { should cmp 'vpc-12345678' }
+    end
+
+<br>
+
+## Matchers
+
+This InSpec audit resource has the following special matchers. For a full list of additional available matchers, please visit our [Universal Matchers page](https://www.inspec.io/docs/reference/matchers/).
+
+* [`allow_in`](#allow_in), [`allow_in_only`](#allow_in_only), [`allow_out`](#allow_out), [`allow_out_only`](#allow_out_only)
+
+### allow\_in
+
+### allow\_out
+
+### allow\_in\_only
+
+### allow\_out\_only
+
+The `allow` series of matchers enable you to perform queries about what network traffic would be permitted through the Security Group rule set.
+
+`allow_in` and `allow_in_exactly` examine inbound rules, and `allow_out` and `allow_out_exactly` examine outbound rules.
+
+`allow_in` and `allow_out` examine if at least one rule that matches the criteria exists. `allow_in` and `allow_out` also perform inexact (ie, range-based or subset-based) matching on ports and IP addresses ranges, allowing you to specify a candidate port or IP address and determine if it is covered by a rule.
+
+`allow_in_only` and `allow_out_only` examines if exactly one rule exists (but see `position`, below), and if it matches the criteria (this is useful for ensuring no unexpected rules have been added). Additionally, `allow_in_only` and `allow_out_only` do _not_ perform inexact matching; you must specify exactly the port range or IP address(es) you wish to match.
+
+The matchers accept a key-value list of search criteria.  For a rule to match, it must match all provided criteria.
+
+  * from_port - Determines if a rule exists whose port range begins at the specified number. The word 'from_' does *not* relate to inbound/outbound directionality; it relates to the port range ("counting _from_"). `from_port` is an exact criterion; so if the rule allows 1000-2000 and you specify a `from_port` of 1001, it does not match.
+  * ipv4_range - Specifies an IPv4 address or subnet as a CIDR, or a list of them, to be checked as a permissible origin (for `allow_in`) or destination (for `allow_out`) for traffic.  Each AWS Security Group rule may have multiple allowed source IP ranges.
+  * port - Determines if a particular TCP/IP port is reachable. allow_in and allow_out examine whether the specified port is included in the port range of a rule, while allow_in. You may specify the port as a string (`'22'`) or as a number.
+  * position - A one-based index into the list of rules. If provided, this restricts the evaluation to the rule at that position. You may also use the special values `:first` and `:last`. `position` may also be used to enable `allow_in_only` and `allow_out_only` to work with multi-rule Security Groups.
+  * protocol - Specifies the IP protocol. 'tcp', 'udp', and 'icmp' are some typical values. The string "-1" or 'any' is used to indicate any protocol.
+  * to_port - Determines if a rule exists whose port range ends at the specified number. The word 'to_' does *not* relate to inbound/outbound directionality; it relates to the port range ("counting _to_"). `to_port` is an exact criterion; so if the rule allows 1000-2000 and you specify a `to_port` of 1999, it does not match.
