Description

Security groups can have many custom rules that can be cumbersome to edit and write one by one. Do so in the CLI could potentially take a long time to develop. It would be more effective to have an interactive way to edit them based on an editor such as git rebase -i. By doing so, we can leverage the knowledge of our users with their favorite text editor.

The text would look like this:

enable_smtp: true
# Inbound rules are applied to the network flux coming IN of your instance
inbound_rules:
  - {rule: deny,   protocol: tcp, port: 42, ip_range: 0.0.0.0/0}
# Outbound rules are applied to the network flux coming OUT of your instance
outbound_rules:
  - {rule: accept, protocol: tcp, port: 42, ip_range: 0.0.0.0/0}

How I imagine scw could expose this functionality

scw instance security-group edit
