PrefixList

The PrefixList resource allows you to manage AWS EC2 PrefixLists that are used to specify a list of IP address ranges. This is useful for simplifying security group and route table configurations.

Create a basic PrefixList with required properties and a common optional property.

import AWS from "alchemy/aws/control";
const prefixList = await AWS.EC2.PrefixList("myPrefixList", {
PrefixListName: "MyPrefixList",
AddressFamily: "IPv4",
MaxEntries: 100
});

Configure a PrefixList with entries and tags for better organization.

const advancedPrefixList = await AWS.EC2.PrefixList("advancedPrefixList", {
PrefixListName: "AdvancedPrefixList",
AddressFamily: "IPv4",
MaxEntries: 50,
Entries: [
{
Cidr: "10.0.0.0/24",
Description: "Office Network"
},
{
Cidr: "192.168.1.0/24",
Description: "Home Network"
}
],
Tags: [
{
Key: "Environment",
Value: "Development"
},
{
Key: "Project",
Value: "Alpha"
}
]
});

Create a PrefixList that includes multiple CIDR blocks for different environments.

const multiCidrPrefixList = await AWS.EC2.PrefixList("multiCidrPrefixList", {
PrefixListName: "MultiCIDRPrefixList",
AddressFamily: "IPv4",
Entries: [
{
Cidr: "172.16.0.0/16",
Description: "Corporate Network"
},
{
Cidr: "10.1.1.0/24",
Description: "Testing Network"
}
]
});

If you want to adopt an existing PrefixList instead of creating a new one, you can set the adopt property to true.

const adoptExistingPrefixList = await AWS.EC2.PrefixList("existingPrefixList", {
PrefixListName: "ExistingPrefixList",
AddressFamily: "IPv4",
adopt: true
});
