(dict) --
A filter name and value pair that is used to return a more specific list of results. Filters can be used to match a set of resources by various criteria, such as tags, attributes, or IDs.
Name (string) --
The name of the filter. Filter names are case-sensitive.
Values (list) --
One or more filter values. Filter values are case-sensitive.
(string) --
list
One or more security group IDs. Required for security groups in a nondefault VPC.
Default: Describes all your security groups.
(string) --
list
[EC2-Classic and default VPC only] One or more security group names. You can specify either the security group name or the security group ID. For security groups in a nondefault VPC, use the group-name filter to describe security groups by name.
Default: Describes all your security groups.
(string) --
boolean
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 .
string
The token to request the next page of results.
integer
The maximum number of results to return in a single call. To retrieve the remaining results, make another request with the returned NextToken value. This value can be between 5 and 1000.
