AWS EC2 SecurityGroupEgress

SecurityGroupEgress Adds the specified egress rules to a security group for use with a VPC. Use AWS::EC2::SecurityGroupIngress and AWS::EC2::SecurityGroupEgress only when necessary, typically to allow security groups to reference each other in ingress and egress rules. Otherwise, use the embedded ingress and egress rules of the security group.
