EgressFilter - AWS App Mesh
ContentsSee Also

An object that represents the egress filter rules for a service mesh.

Contents

type

The egress filter type. By default, the type is DROP_ALL, which allows egress only from virtual nodes to other defined resources in the service mesh (and any traffic to *.amazonaws.com for AWS API calls). You can set the egress filter type to ALLOW_ALL to allow egress to any endpoint inside or outside of the service mesh.

Note

If you specify any backends on a virtual node when using ALLOW_ALL, you must specifiy all egress for that virtual node as backends. Otherwise, ALLOW_ALL will no longer work for that virtual node.

Type: String

Valid Values: ALLOW_ALL | DROP_ALL

Required: Yes
