Re: [boto-users] How do I get the type of security group?

[Jason Chan]

There is a 'vpc_id' attribute on security group records. It's empty if the SG is in EC2, and reflects the VPC ID if the SG is in VPC.

There are EC2 & VPC security groups.  get_all_security_groups() returns both.  I'm trying to only get EC2 or VPC groups.  Either that or be able to check a property on the group after the fact to determine which type it is.

Sorry, should have included an example:

>>> import boto

>>> e = boto.connect_ec2()

>>> all = e.get_all_security_groups()

>>> for group in all:

...     if group.vpc_id:

...         print "in a vpc"

...     else:

...         print "in ec2"

get_all_security_groups() also allows an optional filter. Perhaps that could be used to implement this restriction more proactively.
